I don't watch him regularly, so I don't know, but he says he plays better as a center. Looks that way based on stats and maybe he's also trying to prove that he belongs there because he likes center better.
+/- isn't too telling. Did he have many hits? Was it his fault on any or all of the goals?
Wasn't really hitting, one of the goals - shorthanded, he was caught completely, turned the wrong way and the guy blew by and he couldn't catch up. Several others, not clearing the puck out from the front of the net. Just sloppy play all around last night, not just him, the whole team.
Granlund gets an assist in tonight's 4-3 win and extends his point streak to 7 games. He only got a secondary assist in the game but his line (Peltonen-Granlund-Hannula) is getting a lot of goals so it must be working out for them. Ortio with 23 saves.

We don't get an extra year out of him being from a Euro league?
I don't think the new CBA rules apply for players already drafted ... before the new CBA, the 2 year rule for CHLers applied to Euro players as well. So if I'm not mistaken, they have to sign him prior to June 1. Could be wrong on this though.

As far as I know, you are correct. The draft rules that apply to a player are the rules that were in place when he was drafted.
