kloubek Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Good signing for all. Nice and short so Granlund can prove he is worth more, but low so we don't overpay. This is precisely the contract that should have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he should finish this deal at age 26 and with six NHL years. So one year away from being a 27/7 UFA (Group 3). Gives the Canucks (or whoever holds his rights next year) a measure of control for the next extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFastOne21 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I like Granny and more solid middle six depth never hurt anyone at this price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best thing that will happen to the Canucks today. Wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancouver Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Definitely a good deal. Give him a year to see if he can rebound from last season. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets overtaken by some of the younger guys though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 if they want him to score more, they have to put him onto a scoring line with a playmaker who can get him the puck, same with ericksson. maybe those two, flanking pettersson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Drogo Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I’m really not trying to be negative here, but do you recall two seasons ago when he was at 19 goals. He came into the next game and played like an absolute beast. He dominated the game and got an insane amount of shots off. Unfortunately he just fell short of 20 goals. It then came out the next day that he knew his season was being shut down for a surgery, and that had he’d reached the 20 goal mark he would’ve gotten a substantial bonus. What bothers me about this is just how good he showed he can be when he really wants to. If we could somehow keep him motivated like he was on that night then he would be a fantastic player.

How motivated can you be plugging away on the third/fourth line with the likes of Loui, Gaunce, and Sutter? Those guys are offensive black holes and leave no room for creativity. He looked good with Dorse, too bad the man had to retire. They still had hope then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season Green said he told Markus he doesn't see him as a top-6 player. That being said, he was still 6th in average TOI amongst forwards. So even though he has offensive upside, for now it looks like he'll have to work his significant versatility. But once we start getting more offensive depth into the bottom-6, we could certainly see his output increase again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Need to find a way to give him a chance in the top six. Ya he's a good defensive forward but he has untapped offensive talent. He is a very, very smart player. I watch him intently when he's on the ice and I would argue he's the smartest player on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That salary is pretty nice, easily affordable by basically any club, and provides a bit of an incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
