I secretly wanted him on a line with McDavid and Puljujarvi. With multiple suitors at this point and our limited cap I don't even know if we are looking.

He is best as a playmaking wing. He is a decent middle six two way guy at this point, but has the potential to be more. Great passer ...will make a shooter very happy. Superb puck handler, and very good at zone entries on PP's. Not the fastest, or strongest.

Keep seeing people talk about him at 3c and 3c money which I didn't understand.

Exactly what CBJ needs, hope it's true. Love to see him on the topline with PLD and Atkinson.

This really got my attention as the CBJ need this skill in the worst of ways. Thanks for the summary!

Damn really wanted the Stars to get him. Good PP entry guy and setup guy? Literally exactly what the Stars need.

Columbus is a strange team, forward wise, they don't play top heavy. Top line in the playoffs for them was PLD, with Bjorkstrand and Texier.

Could see something like

Texier-Dubois-Bjorkstrand
Domi-Foligno-Atkinson
Granlund-M. Koivu-Nyqvist
Robinson-Jenner-Grigorenko/Stenlund
Nash

Can he play both wings?

What are the chances he turns back into a topliner for us? Because the Jackets have like 10 middle sixers, that's not really much help.

I don't see the fit. The Jackets already have Atkinson Jenner and Foligno at LW and a full C lineup. I could see Dadonov or Toffoli. But Granlund? Not really.
