As other posters have said before me, he can clear waivers this year, but not for next year. Edited February 23, 2016 by Dazzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granlund is waiver exempt and can be sent to Utica. Could be a playoff addition. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/markus_granlund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at that time we thought we had traded a beast of a player away for him. We were thought to have lost that trade off. If social media was around back then we woulda been #burned #outgm'd #rippedoff #robbed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly your logic has gone out to lunch. I will disregard the rest of your messages in this thread. He's proven as much as Granlund has at the NHL level with better point totals Disregard what you want, but calling him garbage is childish and if he were traded for you'd be rooting for him too.

He probably isn't even .50 per game. Total over reaction dude 202 games played in the ahl, 126 points for a .66 ppg average for a defenceman. That's as close to a ppg as it is .50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Cousteau Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 8 hours ago, Bandwagon38 said: After stewing over this trade for the latter half of the day I have come to accept this trade even though I don't understand the timing of it. This could have been done in the summer if Benning was done with Hunter. Also why wouldn't you package him with one of our hopefully exiting veterans to sweeten a great return. I think this trade means that Hansen is getting traded and Granlund is our new Hansen. "Versatile two-way player" "Plays center or wing very well" "kills penalties" "Can slot in up and down he lineup" sounds a lot like Hansen. My thoughts exactly. Maybe they have been showcasing him all year with the Sedins to try and get a big return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Gaunce-Granlund-Grenier) Good point. Gaunce has been playing center lately (really well too) and Canucks are determined to play him at wing.

TheRussianRocket. Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 At the moment he's a 4th line centre. Maximum upside I see especially with all the centre depth we currently have is 3C for Granlund. Even then he has to fix a lot of his game/tendencies/habits to reach that potential. ...Granlund never really came across to me as a guy who wows you in any sort of way. But now that he's a Canuck, just have to take his side and hope he can progress a little to help the team. Just really disappointed in the trade itself. Value was way off and unfortunately for the rest of Granlund's tenure in Vancouver, he will be known as that guy who was traded for Shinkaruk and there will always be a link with the two. If Granlund can turn out to be an every day, regular bottom 6er, then cool I guess. At least it won't be as bad if he busts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Oh, and to clear up any confusion (or just plain disbelief that someone from Calgary could be right on something): He also noted he's excited for the opportunity and it was hard to get a chance in Calgary. He describes himself as a creative, offensive player who can play in all situations and has a deceptive wrist shot. He feels his on-ice vision is very good and likes to set up his teammates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was born in Finland but his last name is definitely Swedish just like Salo. Historically a lot of Swedish families live in Finland, Finnish and Swedish are two official languages of the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
