Hudler is playing through injuries, I don't think he should be in the top 6 for at least a few more weeks but the way Bennett-Backlund-Hudler looked in that Panthers game was something to behold. Granlund also has a hell of a one-timer and it's something that could really take the line to the next level, something he doesn't get a chance to use in current circumstances and Frolik doesn't have in his arsenal.

Granlund has been our 4th worst forward behind Bollig, Raymond & Colborne, since the first 4 or 5 games of his latest call up.

Granlund is a
brutal center, not even a 4th liner in the NHL at that position. I've never argued otherwise. But I think he's going to show he's a top 6 winger the minute he gets a shot at his blatantly natural position. Even tonight we saw him flying down the left side on the PK, one of the most dangerous chances in the entire game. With a guy like Backlund springing him you'd see a completely different player. That's a ways away though, the first step is simply moving him to wing on the third line.
