Man, why?

 

[Metroid]

Booo

pain

 

[Wasted Talent]

Makes sense, he always struck me as the kind of guy who stays loyal to a team

Edit: I'd like formally retract that statement after seeing the full details

[Hockeyholic]

That's an awful contract.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Eh, a year too long or $1M too high for my tastes. But we definitely expected him back.

 

[ottomaddox]

Of course TOR didn't have the scratch for Granlund.

DUBASSSSSSS!!!! (done like "KHANNNNNN!")

 

[Michoulicious]

Not cheap. Wow, a lot of teams seem to think Seattle will come save them from their terrible contracts.

 

[Lays]

Yikessss

 

[Zwui21]

This is some 2016 free agency signing vibe.

 

[HanSolo]

Where's that oof level meme? Holy shit what an overpayment.

 

[cyris]

I like the Granlund. That’s more than I would have wanted to give him but good for him.

 

[DuklaNation]

LMAO. What? This guy should be out of the league. Soft.

 

[Islay1989]

Poile is a horrible GM.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Of course TOR didn't have the scratch for Granlund.

DUBASSSSSSS!!!! (done like "KHANNNNNN!")

It was just a rumour. Obviously, it had no traction. Good for the Preds.

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Holy hell that's way too much much Granny

 

[BonMorrison]

I wanted Granlund back in Nashville but Poile wtf is that contract? Poile is the worst.

 

[Zwui21]

Yikes.

 

[GJB]

Weird contract for a guy who has really struggled last 2 seasons, desperate really.

 

[Legionnaire11]

This guy was often our best player last season. I'd have been happier with 3 years at $4M. If 4x5 is true, it's not an ideal contract, but it's not the worst thing either.

 

[jonlin]

LMAO. What? This guy should be out of the league. Soft.

Soft? I guess you were thinking about his brother? Granlund actually goes to the dirty areas, PK:s etc. Soft is a thing he is not.

 

[Osprey]

It looks like Poile panicked after Seattle took Jarnkrok and felt that he had to "replace" that 2-way 3C position, no matter the cost or term.
