    I know Saad had a solid year and all but give me Granlund and the loads of upside that come with him

    Also depends on a few things - do you need production immediately (Saad) or can you afford to wait a little longer (Granlund)

    I could afford to wait, as either would be my last keeper.

    I'd take Granlund here, though his stock seems to have fallen faster than Filatov - in Angus' Top Ten Keeper Forwards list, he was #1 last year, and an honourable mention this year!

    Well Granlund might have a little more upside, but Saad is allready a full time NHL player and he will be top 6 in Chicago for a very long time. I would take him over Granlund, who still has to build up some muscles to compete with the big boys.

    Sounds about right. The perceived 'upside' play with Granlund does not outweigh what we've already seen from Saad.

    No, he would have been near the top of my list, but my cut off for prospects is 25 GP. He had 27.

    Sorry but I think it is crazy to take Saad over Grunland.

    I own Saad in one of my keepers, and I would trade him straight up for Granlund with a blink of an eye.

    This isn't the best of the argument, but that's how I see it!

    If I owned Saad I would be happy to sell high and grab Granlund.
