Granlund has earned his nhl time, he played well and produced every time he has been in the AHL, unlike guys like Baerschitt and Poirier, who only show flashes.
The reason why I'm disappointed in Poirier is because you can see the skills: the NhL speed, the NHL shot, the size but he just hasn't put it all together. Maybe it's just maturity and he will get there eventually.
With regards to the development system, the young players who have graduated through the AHL, developed under Troy Ward. There hasn't really been any players who developed under Huska yet, but it may still be early.
