Yeah mine too. Huge pleasant surprise by him to triple his numbers this season. Although Granlund did well to massively improve from an average season in the Finnish league, in terms of "breakout" I think Reinhart is the choice here.

Not saying Granlund is capable of cracking the NHL roster next year, but there's no need to rush the kid. He's only had one AHL season. Max Reinhart tripled his AHL totals from last year, was a huge playoff performer, he'll be the breakout that we all will be pleased with.
