Well.. Definitely better than Knight, though Knight looks good.
Street is a weird case because he looks like he should be able to translate his skills to the NHL but hasn't.
Jones is a utility player that flourishes under nicer assignments. PP, offensive zone starts, etc. That's where Jones is good. But he doesn't deke players out like Granlund, and he doesn't drive play north like Granlund.
He looks equivalent in NHL readiness to Street, but his game is much more skilled than Street's. Way higher ceiling.
Granlund is ready enough for a look, but it'll be wasted outside the top-6. He needs puck touches to play his game. 12 minutes a night likely won't be enough to see him do his thing. Would be great with a natural finisher like Monahan, great pass.
