However, Granlund's overall game, without the puck, is currently at a higher level. Also, Sven seems kind of weak mentally to me. Maybe it's just me, but that's the impression I get.
Granlund might be more ready for the NHL NOW, but Sven has the potential to be a much, much better player than Granlund. And IMO, is a much better prospect.

On paper,
perhaps Sven is the better prospect. But attitude comes into play also and Sven didn't do himself a lot of good with his attitude during pre-season, sometimes during the season, and when he got sent to Abby.
Its tough to shake the label of "whiner", deserved or not. Just ask Wayne.
