But yet the same posters saying we don't miss Granlund are the first posters to defend Brouwer and Lazar. Two players we definitely wouldn't miss.

The problem with throwing Granlund in there with Lazar and Brouwer is they don't fill the same need as each other.
The Flames don't need Granlund because they have enough players that can do what Granlund does, but those players do it better. What the Flames need are players like Lazar and Brouwer, who play that style and roll well.
Very fair for you to say that at this point, Lazar and Brouwer aren't getting it done. It might also be fair for you to suggest that Granlund does what he does better than Lazar and Brouwer are currently doing what they do................but that still doesn't equate to Granlund being something this team needs. We need players to play the Lazar / Brouwer roll well...............Granlund doesn't do that, and substituting Granlund for either of those two doesn't make us better. Building a team isn't quiet as simple as take top 12 players and dress, there are roles that need to be filled.
