Not to mention, Granlund actually looks pretty good on the boards. I think he brings two elements to the team that we are weak in. One of those being his hard shot, the other his drive to the net and net front presence. He isn't the biggest guy, but I've been noticing him always driving the net and planting himself in front of the net.

I agree. He's not a bottom 6 kind of guy, and that's why the the wing makes sense. It seems like he is being forced in as a centre.
On another note, it seems like a lot of people have given up on him. It's nice to have prospects that make an immediate impact in the NHL. God knows the flames have had a few recently. But let's remember that it takes time. I'm quite happy about where granlund is, and I'm reasonably happy about where Backlund is.
I don't think we have seen the best out of either yet.
