Granlund had a couple excellent faceoff games, but as a rookie, he's bound to not be very proficient.
I agree that Bollig is the problem with 4th line makeup. He really doesn't provide much of what this team needs, and is a defensive nightmare. He goes in to the o-zone, tries to make a hit, never comes up with the puck, and then has to hoof it slowly on the backcheck. He hasn't fought much, and doesn't scare anyone it seems.
I'd much rather see a 4th line that can contribute. Scoring, checking, energy - whatever.
