I do think Graves can play a similar meat and potatoes game to Mayfield, who was Toews’ regular partner on Long Island. If one of them can switch to the right, it’s definitely an option. Graves is used to playing with a speed merchant offensive minded blueliner but Toews is less of an absolute maverick and more positionally sound defensively than Makar at this point so perhaps it’ll feel less like Makar dragging Graves around and more of an actual “pairing”.
This would also let EJ side into a mentor ship role with Byram and kick Cole out of the top 6. Timmins is groomed to replace EJ eventually.
