he's softSoft? I guess you were thinking about his brother? Granlund actually goes to the dirty areas, PK:s etc. Soft is a thing he is not.
"Competitive re-tool." Don't think the org is willing to eat the down years of a full rebuild. Poile is trying to keep the team playoff spot-competitive while turning over the roster. Granlund is a good player to help insulate guys like Glass, Tomasino, Tolvanen until they're fully ready to manage the workload.I think this is a mistake for Granlund the preds have started what looks to be a rebuild with the Arvidson and Ellis trades
sometimes I agree but we've only missed the playoffs twice in the since the first lockout and those were the fire sale years when ownership was in turmoil.Poile is a horrible GM.
Great signing! Dirt cheap for the guy who contributes in all situations and gets the most TOI out of all forwards.
He will have a huge year if he plays with Forsberg and Tolvanen.
Yeah, that's what I expect too, I think it's likelyWill probably center the 2nd line with two of Tolvanen, Tomasino and Duchene.
We heard the same thing when we lost Timonen, Hamhuis, Suter, Weber, Suban, etc..... Ellis was at best our 3 last year, and was being beat out by Carrier.I think this is a mistake for Granlund the preds have started what looks to be a rebuild with the Arvidson and Ellis trades
That was a few games still under Lavi. I think it was just a fluke, though. Duchene would have eventually dragged those guys down just like he drags everybody down.Yeah, that's what I expect too, I think it's likely
Tolvanen-Granlund-Tomasino
Funny though, the best Duchene looked last year was with Forsberg and Granlund, Hynes didn't like it though, too much production.
