Granlund was really tanking in Nashville too.

Yeah, but I also wouldn’t call Nashville well-coached either. My larger point isn’t even that Granlund is good, it’s just that these kinds of players are really dependent on the team and situation to produce. So you need to use those kinds of players properly for them to have any benefit at all.

Like the players or not, if they leave the Pens and immediately rebound, that is on the coach.
I 100% agree Sullivan shares some of the blame here, but Hextall was mainly at fault. They needed a 3C capable of playing with heavy defensive usage and he went out and got Granlund :help: Sullivan's stubbornness prevented him from at least trying to find a better spot for Granlund, which has been a common theme of his, but it was a terrible trade from a team needs and/or player evaluation point of view.
