At the risk of summoning up Where R U Chris Sullivan, I've got to say Granlund is a long way ahead of where Backlund was at the same point of his NHL career and basically has replaced him in the lineup this season.
I like Ferland and I can see him playing a big role in the future but I really don't understand why Granlund isn't more appreciated here. I'm sure it wasn't tough for Hartley to keep Granlund up over Ferland. He has played a way bigger role on the team, he has more skill and plays a far more complete game. And he scores points in the NHL.
