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.

I agree here. I didn't think Granlund would make a big impression for a few years, but watching him play- he is definitely an NHLer. Good hustle, good offensive instinct, and always in good position defensively. Little bite to his game too.
