EDIT: Ortio's stats still okay, despite the fact that he has only one win in five starts. 2.39 gaa, .922 sv.
By my counting, Granlund has 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in 24 games since the november break.

I am starting to wonder if Granlund might be a better prospect with a higher top-end than Backlund. He appears to be enjoying more success at a higher level in Europe than Backlund did at his age, and had a terrific WJC this last year as well. Is he as good as he appears, or is part of this a product of playing with his brother on a very good team? As someone who has the chance to watch him semi-regularly, I'm interested to know what your impression of Granlund is in the longer term.
