Sure he's not scoring but nobody is on this team outside of a couple of players is doing anything offensively this season as he's scored a whopping 3 goals less than Hudler and Backlund and those are the guys bringing the team down as they aren't playing up to the level of their contracts.

I agree that if a bunch of players are doing nothing, you might as well make them young players like Granlund.
However, I disagree on Granlund not looking of out place. Pat Steinbergh always tells me that Granlund is in way over his head, so it must be true.
