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.

I'd like to know if he is ready to come to North America? Probably not, I'm guessing for the N.H.L., but would a year in Major Junior be good for him? I guess the good thing about his playing in Europe is that he is playing against men, and he's apparently having success there.
