You or I or anyone at this point cannot quantify either way how they will pan out yet. It's frustrating sometimes reading posts that under value the teams prospects by a gross margin. I get the hesitance on Jankowski's upside, it's a long long ways off.
But Granlund. Everything I've seen tells me there's some serious top six quality to him and how he plays. First year in the AHL? Stellar beginning to his pro career. Shortened NHL stint? Good start, defensively responsible, good on the faceoffs, potted some nice points before going down with the shoulder injury.
If anything his play last season goes against what you're saying.
Let's keep an open mind here and watch what happens next season. For both players.
