He’s probably taking McGinn or something dumb like that.
- Feds91Stammer



McGinn would make sense for the Penguins or Heinen for the cap space to work.

Extend Hextall. Grinder was always right. Carter just needed a winger and Granlund is just the medicine.
- Victoro311


Pfft. But Granlund is a better center. Plus, he has no forecheck, doesn't finish, and is weak on defense. His one saving attribute is he can pass, and if they're pushing him to wing, that kinda puts a lid on that crock of poop.

Just becuase they won and Carter looked decent, doesn't make the Granlund deal all of a sudden a good one, and him what Carter really needed. As far as wingers go, they got rid of wingers who are better in the very definition of what a winger needs to be than Granlund.

I'm not totally sold on this. Granlund has more points than McGinn, Bluey and Archi combined...he has 15 more points than Kap...and he can play C as well.

EDIT: this is by no means me saying I like getting Granlund hahaha....I dont like the trade. Just think he's better than whats been lost.

Agreed, honestly if Nashville retained a bit I would have been OK with it. Not thrilled but not pissed when it happened haha

You saying you’re not going to enjoy that 5m cap hit when you watch Yzerman sign another Perron or Kubalik for cheap?

Well when you set the bar that low I guess anything looks better. Not $5 mil per better. He's still the lowest scoring player at 5v5 on the team outside of Carter and Archibald, and he won't be cracking the top PP unit, so there goes that stat padding.

Thats true. 12 of his 36 points are on PP...and I think he should be on the PP, not PK. Perhaps he will be if this Bonino talk is true. Even though he's a lefty id try to replace Rak on the PP with him. See if he can ignite something there.

My problem with the PP is there's no fire to it...there's no urgency, usually. No hunger. Its like they're all out for a sunny Sunday stroll at the park....so maybe he could bring a spark....
