Followed by Hollowell + Rubins up. They've been doing this for years to give marlies NHL pay for a few days/weeks as a bonus. By the time the season is over most marlies will have spent a bit of time on the taxi squad.
Dreger: Some speculation linked the Leafs to Nashville Predators forward Mikael Granlund

I think most would agree, at this point it all just depends on the price. I imagine retention is also a factor in working out that price.

Very well said why bother with granlund i don't see him being better than boyd or vesey for that matter, so why...
haha i can't believe all these guys on the granlund bandwagon, give i up already i sure hope the leafs don't get him the guy is a stiff hes bounced around for a bit and over paid, i sure hope dubass passes on this guy as i don't see him doing any improving on this team at allllllllllllllllll....
i think Dreger should just shut up with the granlund bull, i just don't get it, this player isn't going to help the leafs why on earth is everyone pumping this guy up, i sure hope dubass isn't that stupid and trades for this player, he isn't going to make any difference to this team, this team needs a Dman not forwards specially fringe forwards, didn't he just put two on waivers, this guys is not a scorer so what is he, common give it up, please dubass passsssssss
Was just curious when he bounced around. You seem to have good insight into the player.

Im kinda on the fence about the fit.
With Matthews and Marner i could see him having chemistry offensively. Granny can make those little passes and plays to open areas and im sure they'd appreciate his work ethic on both ends of the ice. That said, how's the cycle game going to be? Granny has his limitations physically and this means Matthews is going have to do a lot of the heavy lifting down low as they don't have another bigger body or puck hound like Hyman.. i don't know if that's his game or not these days, tend to not watch the Leafs that much.
With Tavares and Nylander i think their styles match really well and the line would probably think the game the same way but what about the pace and quickness? Not exactly speedsters here. Could struggle when tempo is at it's highest in the playoffs.
In the bottom 6 it's probably going to be the same story as in Nashville. Lots of try but not much production.
And PK? .. i guess he can do it but it's not like he's made a career out of it.
Useful player though and price won't be too much so not a bad thing to give it a shot, and i can easily see him coming in and having ton of success early on. But a bit weary of it going the other way in the end.

He's never hit 70. He hit 69 once and that was quite a few years ago.
