Granlund TDL Discussion

Granlunds first 13 games as a Shark were rocky, not amazing play and his totals:
13 games
4 assists
0 goals
10 pointless games

——

Grandlunds last 9 games, he’s looked phenomenal, his play starting improving right after the Grier locker room talk. It’s not just points it’s also how he looks. His totals:
9 games
15 points
5 multi point games (two 3 point games)
3 goals
1 pointless game

In 22 games Granlund has 19 points. He’s around (under tho) a 70 point pace. It Granlund is retained, @50%, he should return easily over a first+ at 2.5m aav for 1 more year (2 playoff runs).

Lars Eller (obviously a rounded player, not just points) had 16 points in 60 games. Returned a 2nd last TDL. Jordan Greenway had 7 points in 45 and returned OVER a 2nd.

Tyler Bertuzzi, had injury problems, was a UFA, and cost basically the same AAV as Granlund (but Granlund has 1 more year). Bertuzzi had 14 points in 30 games (obviously a different player). He received a first and fourth.

My guess is; I’d Granlund, let’s say reaches the TDL with the following Statline - which would have a slight reduction in his current performance/ pace included (to be safe):

Let’s say 50 games played (rested and needs some games for healing):
And let’s even reduce his points by a handful.

37 points in 50 games. 2 years/ 2 playoff runs @2.5m AAV. Plays center and wing, has shown speed and agility with some amazing play and puck work.

What teams are going to be willing to offer a first + prospect?
If you disagree sure but if all you say his “guy sucks” well his play suggests otherwise. So let’s discuss who and what?

Granlund 2.5m AAV x 2y

I like the NYR fit a lot. More then the AVs by a mile.
I think the Rags not only are going to be buyers, but they’re looking for a cup. The Metro is a gongshow (not in a positive way) and if they pull the Flyers they’re laughing to the 2nd round, basically a buy.

I’ve got 2 proposals for the Rangers.

Granlund 2.5m AAV x 2y

Granlund 2.5m AAV x 2y

Granlund 2.5m AAV x 2y (50% retained)

Would they bid on Granlund?

Granlund also looks like a perfect fit here?
Would EDM try to make cap room?
