It was so obvious we got Granlund for Zucker but Sully is gonna Sully.
Don't agree with this at all. If Hextall wanted him to play with Zucker he'd make that known to Sullivan.

It's more likely that Hextall and Sullivan both have the same idiotic idea that he can be an effective third liner.

There was literally no reason to get him except Zucker connection.

Coulda just had Blueger, a better pick and 5 mill in cap space.

But he liked him two years ago, so, yea. For some reason we got current year Granlund in the deal.

I thought Granlund would be a good addition. Haven't really wat he'd him in years, but he was nash illest best player when we played them.

I'm truly shocked at how meaningless he is in this team. Literally contributes nothing, and he's quickly becoming a player I dislike.

It’s largely on our staff IMO.

We’ve seen this with multiple players now. They can’t coach this team with a healthy top six.

Shocked that a guy who has struggled badly for the past 4 years aside from one year and relies on #1PP time to produce has been invisible, no clue how an NHL GM didn't understand that Granlund didin't fit the roster makeup, just look at his 5v5 production. 5 mil a year for 30 points and poor defensive play.

Also not shocking to see Blueger, Kapenen become productive away from this terrible system and coach.

When a move is so bad that it is actually criticized by the media at the time it was made.........Houston, we have a problem.

New GM hammers bonehead coach to put Grandlund in a spot in the top 6 to have success so that you can move at the deadline for assets. This is the best case scenario.
