Not the Flames Granlund but the Minnesota Wild Granlund. Corey Pronman had him as the top prospect in the NHL that had already been drafted at one point.
The kid actually had similar hype to Puljujarvi and put up a higher PPG in his draft year in the SM-Liiga than both Laine & Puljujarvi. Also had a dominant U-18 and WJC in his draft year.
People figured he was a lock to be an offensive star in the NHL and it never really panned out.
