This new deal is a big step for Graf, who has rapidly proven himself to be a crucial part of San Jose’s young core.
He signed as an un-drafted player in the NHL and had his breakout season in 2025-26, setting career highs in goals (21), assists (25) and points (46) in 81 games, per ESPN
Graf was third on the Sharks in goals behind Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith and sixth on the squad in total scoring.
His output helped San Jose make a bigger push toward the playoffs, even although the Sharks finished fifth in the Pacific Division, four points off of the final Western Conference wild-card spot.
In addition to his offensive performance, Graf has also continued to evolve into a more reliable two-way player.
Graf has 26 goals and 33 assists for 59 points in 121 NHL games.
The Sharks are now hoping the new deal can give stability as the squad develops around its budding young talent.
