    Granlund intrigues me because his contract is due and I'm thinking he might sign somewhere for cheaper to re-establish his NHL value.

    Otherwise I'd go Radulov or Getzlaf based on positional need.

    Thats a tough list. I eliminate Getz and Radulov right away because of age.

    I will eliminate Dzingel because I think he only was good because there was a lack of talent at the top of the depth charts.

    That leaves:

    Niedereitter - I think there is a lot of other talent that is going to take the top producing line spots.
    Granlund - I thought he would do better in Nashville. He is tempting to be the one because he had those really good seasons in Minny
    Faulk - I like the opportunity that he could get here.. if he could crack the top PP spot and keep it..

    I think I have to take a shot on Faulk for his opportunity and the Positional depth of forward compared to D.

    Due to his age and a recent record of quality production, I would go Granlund.

    I'm with Eric on this one.

    Nino next if he gets some talented linemates and solid deployment.

    I get the Granlund love, but based on your roster & those cats

    After Drais & backstrom - your FOW drops off a cliff

    give me Getz. he was having a solid bounce back from the previous year... while he wasn't a 70pt C
    He stuffs the cats in your pool.
    His SOG, Hits were up as well. Based on those around him - he's shooting more because he needs to.
