Granlund - hopefully we can stop the lunacy that we should be exposing Granlund in the Expansion Draft instead of one our 4th line plugs. This team has so little scoring and we want to move someone who has shown the ability to get chances and put them away??? Some have their own agendas in trying to push a anti-Granlund narrative despite what is happening on the ice. Goes back, to some extent, to the Shinkaruk trade and people not wanting to accept the fact they may have been wrong. Tedious how in spite of whatever Granlund does, they are sticking to their story.
I'll admit, Granlund has greatly exceeded my (pretty low) expectations, at least statistically, even to the point where I'd say we're winning that trade right now. However, I still don't like his overall game all that much, and wonder if he'd have this kind of success with a different coach. And re: the trade, the problem with it - as it has been since the day it happened - wasn't necessarily the player we got in return, but that it was the wrong kind asset to target. Tbh, even with his success this year, I really don't see Granlund being an important player going forward with this team. He's definitely earned expansion protection, but he's more than likely to end up just being a warm body who played on a team that did **** all.
