just shows how people change their mind so quickly in fantasy. "What have you done for me lately."


Prior to season when my friend asked who were the top drafted prospects out there - It was pretty well always Yak first and Granlund/Huberdeau and even Tarasenko battling for 2nd. No mention of Galchenyuk in the top 4.

Ill take Granlund. Give him time to adjust to NA.

Not as simple as that. NHL experience counts a lot. NHL experience with relative success counts even more.

We all agree what a tough road it is and the stacked odds against a prospect has to face to have long term success in the NHL. Consequently, each hiccup a prospect encounters is weighted more heavily relative to a vet experiencing the same issue(s) (right or wrong).

No one is denying Granlund's upside nor calling him a bust. Were they, then your "What have you done for me lately" premise would be more apt.

I think what we're seeing (at least from my POV) is consideration being granted to a prospect who is finding success versus one that has yet.

Now weighing the immediate gain from owning Galchenyuk versus waiting for the sublime upside bequeathed upon Granlund is the subjective fun stuff we poolies love to engage.

But I don't think anyone (in this thread anyway) has given up on Granlund per se.

The difference is that Galchenyuk squashed the concerns that were present on draft day.

Not a case of souring on Granlund at all as when I voted for Galchenyuk I expected to be voting for the underdog. I agree with the rest, it's more a case of one prospect adjusting much quicker to the NHL and I don't see their upsides far enough apart to give the vote to Granlund in a vote weighted for immediate production.
