No way is Granlund better than Robert Thomas. Thomas was one of the Blues best forwards at times and probably the most consistent forward during the playoffs outside of ROR. Also, Perron is definitely a bigger difference maker than Turris.
Point is, Nashville doesn't even have a game breaker. The Blues do have a game breaker and better depth through 4 lines. In fact, the Blues have the best depth among forwards and defensemen in the entire league.
I would say Forsberg is a gamebreaker when he's on. And if I had to choose between Granlund or Thomas for this coming season only, I'd still take Granlund. I think he's going to rebound in a big way with a full season in Nashville. Long term, obviously I'd take Thomas.
