Adam Scott Graves (born April 12, 1968) is a Canadian former professional hockey player. He played 10 seasons with the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He also played for the Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks in a career that spanned from 1987 to 2003. He finished his career with 329 goals, 287 assists and 1,224 penalty minutes.

As a youth, Graves played in the 1981 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Wexford, Toronto. Graves started playing Junior B hockey with King City, Ontario, north of his birthplace in Toronto. Graves then joined the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in 1985–86 and averaged over one point per game as a rookie in the OHL. He was drafted 22nd overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1986 NHL entry draft. During the 1986–87 season, as captain of the team, he scored 45 goals for the Spitfires, who won the OHL's J. Ross Robertson Cup for the first time ever. In the 1988 Memorial Cup, the Spitfires made it to the Final, where they lost to the Medicine Hat Tigers 7–6.

Graves played eight of the first 13 games of the 1987-88 NHL season with the Red Wings before being sent down to the OHL. He played one more game in January for a total of nine NHL games played, where he recorded one assist with eight penalty minutes.

Graves played 54 of the first 63 games of the 1988-89 season, and he recorded his first goal on October 15 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He spent time with the Adirondack minor league club before returning to play for the Red Wings playoff run. Ultimately, he recorded seven goals and five assists for the regular season with 60 penalty minutes. In the first round playoff against the Chicago Black Hawks, he recorded four penalty minutes as the Red Wings lost in five games.

Graves played in thirteen games for the 1989-90 season for Detroit, recording one assist with 13 penalty minutes before being traded to the Edmonton Oilers.

On November 2 of the 1989-90 campaign, Graves was involved in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers. Along with Graves, the Oilers received Petr Klima, Joe Murphy and Jeff Sharples in exchange for Jimmy Carson, Kevin McClelland and Edmonton's fifth-round draft pick in the 1991 NHL entry draft. The trade was lamented at the time in Edmonton, as the high-scoring Klima had run-ins with the law alongside a history of substance abuse, while Sharples was coming off a shoulder injury, and both Murphy and Graves were considered to be underachievers given their high draft status. Red Wings general manager Jim Devellano was reluctant to part with Graves, but felt that obtaining Detroit-area native Carson was worth it. He had nine goals and 12 assists in 63 games played for the Oilers that year. In the 1990 Stanley Cup playoffs, Graves delivered eleven points in 22 games, which included the opening goal in both Game 1 and Game 2 of the Final against the Boston Bruins as the Oilers won the series in five games, making Graves a Stanley Cup champion. Graves had seven goals and 18 assists in 76 games for the 1990-91 season with 127 penalty minutes as the Oilers were eliminated in the Conference Finals.

Graves signed an offer sheet for five years and $2.44 million with the New York Rangers, where he would join former Edmonton Oilers teammates Mark Messier and Jeff Beukeboom. Neil Smith, the general manager of the Rangers, was familiar with Graves, having earlier served as the Red Wings' director of scouting. In 1991–92, Graves' first season with the Rangers, he scored 26 goals, helping the team to a 105-point, Presidents' Trophy-winning regular season. Graves finished fifth in the voting for the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the best defensive forward in the league. In Game 2 of the Patrick Division Finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins that year, he fractured the left wrist of superstar Mario Lemieux with a vicious two-handed swing of his stick that resulted in a broken bone in his hand. Graves was assessed only a minor penalty on the play and allowed to take part in Game 3, in which he scored the first goal of a 6–5 overtime victory. After he was suspended for the remainder of the series, the Penguins rallied to win the next three games and the series on the way to the Stanley Cup championship. In the 1992–93 season, he had 36 goals and 65 points.

During the 1993–94 season, Graves set a new franchise record for most goals in a season, doing so on March 23, 1994 with his 50th and 51st goal of the season during a 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers at the Northlands Coliseum that broke a tie with Vic Hadfield's record of 50 in 1972; Graves was only the second Ranger with 50 goals in a season. He finished with 52 goals, a career high; the franchise record stood until Jaromír Jágr scored 54 goals in the 2005–06 season. In the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs, Graves and the Rangers advanced all the way to the Stanley Cup Final looking for their first championship since 1940. In Game 7 against the Vancouver Canucks, Graves scored on a powerplay goal to give the Rangers a 2–0 lead in the first period before lending an assist on Mark Messier's goal in the second period to make it 3–1 in a game the Rangers narrowly won 3–2 to win the Cup. In 23 playoff games, Graves scored ten goals and recorded seven assists and teammate Brian Leetch later called him the "foundation" and "heart and soul" of the championship team. Graves was awarded a roster spot on the NHL's second All-Star team at the position of left wing and was the recipient of the King Clancy Memorial Trophy in recognition of his continuing work with charitable causes. Graves is one of the seven alumni of the Oilers dynasty to win the Stanley Cup with the 1993–94 New York Rangers, along with Jeff Beukeboom, Glenn Anderson, Kevin Lowe, Craig MacTavish, Mark Messier and Esa Tikkanen.
