I still say it would be a mistake to give up on the kid.
3 points in 3 games under Torchetti. I think we all need to just sit back and observe every one of our players under a new coach. Can't wait to see Brodin when he gets back.
Agreed, he's looked a lot better under Torch.
How has Granlund's development/transition to the NA been? In my books, I still have him pegged with the potential to be an above average 2C.
For the first time I am wondering if Granlund might be better at winger, assuming we brought in another center like RNH for Brodin.
a small,weak winger who doesn't shoot?
I'm fine with moving Granlund after this season. I was a big fan of his but he's just not improving. He's too hesitant to shoot and too small. He also loses a lot of puck battles and is missing the killer instinct. I think we should find someone better.
One idea is try Granlund at wing for a stretch to let him simplify his game and focus on offense--maybe until Zucker gets back.
Parise-Koivu-Coyle
Nino-Haula-Granlund
Vanek-Carter-Pominville
Porter-Stoll-Fontaine
Let Granlund ride with Nino and Haula flying all over the ice. Just crazy enough it might work!
I think he's looked like a very solid #2 center, and we should keep him. He's the 2nd most tenacious player on the team behind Zach.How is he doing?
