Want to note that I've been a Granlund fan for a long time so I'm happy to see him performing at this level. Although it's been a long road for him, he's been developed perfectly by the organization. And even though I don't think he was utilized to his strengths in his previous call ups, it's finally happening now and his patience has paid off. At one of his first development camps I saw his beast of a shot and pegged that immediately as his asset that would be his ticket to the NHL one day. However he's a pretty polished player overall and has been seasoned on the PK as well which helps. Looks to have the confidence to be a mainstay and I think he'll step out of the shadow of his brother and establish himself as a guy that could potentially put up 20 goals in the league.
