I am disappoint.
In all seriousness, I'm not sure Stajan will stay the entire length of his current contract, which opens up a spot for Jooris as a 4th line center, but he's certainly capable at right wing. Granlund may not end up as a center in the NHL unless he drastically improves his face-offs. In any case, I would put Backlund ahead of all 3 of those guys on any depth chart for the foreseeable future.

I like the thought of potential 20 goal scorer Jooris being on the 4th line. This would mean we are over talented, but I'm not sure this is the case. If Jooris continues to produce as he has this year, can't see how he moves to the 4th line, not sure how you get rid of Stajan either.
Also, if were not allowed to KHL Backlund after 3 horrific seasons of supposed learning curves / injuries etc. Not sure we can expect or demand Granlund to be great by next year. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't have more time to develop.
