With the Bruins selecting in the first round of the NHL Draft just twice over the last six years, Don Sweeney and his staff have turned to undrafted collegiate free agents in an effort to replenish the franchise’s prospect pipeline.

Graf, who hails from Lincoln, Mass., is free to sign with any NHL team after the Bobcats were eliminated by Boston College in the NCAA Regional Final in Providence on Sunday.
