Granlund played 7 games by the end of his Draft+3 year.

If Poirier plays one NHL game this season, he will have the same resume (chance given) at the same points in their careers (albeit Granlund is four months younger in terms of draft age).

Well there are many reasons Baertschi didn't make it here. Some his fault for sure. But my point is that he developed on our farm. I believe that is true, he was better in the minors in February 2015 than he was in December 2013. Taking the next step at the NHL level was something he didn't believe he could do on our team so he asked for a trade. There's no reason he wouldn't have been playing the game he's playing there now, here now, if things worked out. He was a fine pick and we didn't **** his development up by sending him to the farm.
