Sharks Send Collin Graf To AHL; Couture Unfollows & Refollows

It was an off-day for the San Jose Sharks as they visited the Minnesota Wild, but there is some news.

On Tuesday morning, the Sharks sent forward Collin Graf to the AHL. Graf joins the San Jose Barracuda during their playoff push and, hopefully, the extended postseason run.

Graf has had a good run in the NHL this season, tallying five goals and six assists in 30 games. The Sharks’ prospect has been a regular in the top-six forward group.

Head coach Ryan Warsofsky has also deployed Graf on the penalty kill with Barclay Goodrow. Despite the recent struggles on the kill, Graf has played well for a rookie.

The Barracuda have five games remaining and are tied for fifth in the Pacific Division. Graf could potentially be on a line with 2023 first-round pick Quentin Musty.

Don’t read into Logan Couture’s social media actions

Despite not playing a single game for the San Jose Sharks this season, the captain has made some noise. Fans of the Sharks noticed that Couture had unfollowed the Sharks on Instagram. Questions surround the center’s career, making people think he might be announcing something.

Couture has since re-followed the Sharks. Neither the player nor the team has commented.

SHD doesn’t expect the player or team to comment, as this could have been a mistake on Couture’s end. Social media is an excellent tool for fans to follow their favorite players and teams. However, tracking someone’s likes and/or follows can be slippery, as those things lack context.

Couture won’t play for the Sharks this season, and he still has two years left on his contract. GM Mike Grier has said that as long as Couture is in San Jose, he will be the team captain. Couture following the Sharks or not lacks context and shouldn’t be thought of as anything significant.
