Player Discussion Mikael Granlund IX

[gobbluth]

Ofc granlund is not in the crosby, malkin, kane etc class. But I think many of you might be surprised when he scores 70+ points for the next 5 seasons at least. Laugh all you want, but that's what is gonna happen

Does the Wild have good C prospects? I an expecting Koivu to start declining any time now.

Eriksson Ek is NHL ready and Kunin is close. Both project at least 2nd line role imo.

 

[57special]

Don't know if Kunin will be a C. They started to play him at wing at UW.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

New article on espn.com where Granlund is referred to as both 'Grassland' and 'Grandlund'.

 

[BagHead]

Wow, well, it's sad they can't spell Grandlump correctly, but ESPN doesn't give a lick about hockey, so for him to make it on there is nice confirmation of the amazing season he's having. Good job, Granman, keep making those plays!

 

[Minnesota]

Grassland is amazing. Writer must have typed up the article on their iPhone while driving to work.

ESPN sure knows hockey. It's almost impressive to butcher his name twice in the span of one article specifically about him. Grandlund can't even be a simple typo since it's repeated 6 times in total.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

At least it's fixed now, ha.

If people say it every year, sooner or later they will be right....

 

[gphr513]

Grassland is amazing

I've been saying it for 4 years now. Also believe that the Twins will win, and that my waist will get smaller.

I believe he's been quoted saying he can play all three forward positions. You're right though, he has been playing wing since Frederic was bumped up to the 1st line.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Win or lose, Granny finds his way onto the scoreboard. Makes me thing this is not just a one time thing.

 

[Wild11MN]

Granlund named a Lady Byng finalist.

 

[TaLoN]

Granlund named a Lady Byng finalist.

Awesome! He deserves it! Should win it!

 

[Minnesota]

Granlund, Gaudreau, Tarasenko... That's a damn fine trio!

Probably won't be Gaudreau as he was fined for diving, lol.

 

[MNRube]

This guy needs a pure sniper. I like the longterm potential of Granlund and Kaprizov as linemates. Both can win pucks, and KK is a great finisher. Coyle or JEE seem like the ideal big, two-way C options. I still think Coyle ends up at C eventually. He has every skill needed and we need more down the middle. Need one of him or Kunin to fit in next to JEE.

 

[57special]

Would be nice if Coyle could win a FO.

 

[Digitalbooya]

So Granlund played with a broken hand in the playoffs.

 

[Wild11MN]

Huh, guess I'm not too surprised. He's usually money in the playoffs. Too bad.

 

[TaLoN]

 

[W75]

That explains a lot.

 

[TJL48]

Did they mention when it happened?

 

[elnewby]

Is it just me or should we have maybe scratched him then? I know he's our leading scorer, but he was nonexistent against STL. A broken hand is a pretty debilitating hockey injury.

Tough to say obviously. But part of me wonders if we should have given Schroeder a shot in the lineup.
