I remember all too well the gushing over Roman Cervenka after a couple of games.

Bit of a different situation though. Cervenka had never played in North America. Came over and had a bloodclot issue right away.
Granlund has done well in Europe as a teenager but also has worked his way up the lineup for our farm team and is leading the AHL is rookie goal scoring. He's adapted to North American hockey very well and has done nothing but impress.
I don't really see anybody annointing him with anything. We're just excited we have a prospect impressing who has done more than most people thought he would in the minors this year as a rookie.
No need to try and be debbie downer is there? All we have to be excited about these days is young players and its nice to see a different one step in and show he may have an NHL future ahead of him isn't it?
