Though it was a short sample size, Hartley seemed to love Granlund's 2-way game in the NHL. IIRC, he threw out Granlund for important defensive zone faceoffs. He made no secret as to how much he loved him. Considering Hartley has been critical of Sven's defensive play, I would venture to say that Granlund was at the very least passable in the defensive zone. I used to think he was a top 6 or bust kind of prospect, but really see him as a top 9 player now - though I bet he makes it as a top 6 player in Calgary.
