I like how we all know Granlund is sticking.

Actually, I don't - I think he's easy to send down. But if he's up, I think he plays. He and Jooris fill the same role - hybrid centre/winger with some speed and PK time. Neither of them are going to be on the PP like Raymond (waits for complaints) and neither of them are like Ferland. And between Jooris and Granlund, the latter has been more consistent this year.

Granlund could play on the 2nd PP unit and I'd feel fine.

Yes, but I think Granlund's offensive ability is a class above Jooris'. He just needs to continue to develop, and I think he'll be a regular NHLer, whereas I think Jooris will forever be struggling to stay in any NHL lineup.
