I must be because I don't see much impressive about Granlund defensive play at all and see him outmuscled way too often for my liking.
Hs penalty against Staal the other was 100% him not being strong enough to defend him. Now Staal is one of the biggest and best (at times) so maybe not a lot to be ashamed of for not being to keep up with him but combined with Granlunds play last year and so far this year he looks to physically weak to be an effective center in the league especially with his poor FO ability.
