After a decent first few games Granlund has really struggled in my opinion. The Flames are getting outplayed heavily at even strength when he is on the ice. I think they need to figure out if he can be a more effective winger. He's got a good shot and is a useful penalty killer so there may still be a spot for him.
Bennett should be playing centre. That's where the Flames will need him to be in the future and that's where the bulk of his ice time should be now, even if it comes with growing pains. Unsure why Bob isn't willing to give him the same rope he gave Monahan.
