The Sharks also received Jan Rutta and a 2024 first-round pick, which is top-10 protected, from the Penguins in the trade. Additionally, San Jose received Mike Hoffman from the Canadiens in the deal. Erik Karlsson was shipped to the Penguins in the move, and the Sharks will retain $1.5 million of his salary annually for the next four seasons. Granlund's likely to fill a middle-six role at center during the 2023-24 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Granlund has written his name on the scoresheet in just one of his 10 games for the Penguins, a two-point outing versus the Flyers on March 11. Pittsburgh doesn't exactly have a ton of alternative scoring options that could challenge Granlund for a spot in the lineup, so he is unlikely to drop any further than a third-line role despite the lack of production.

EDGE Analysis

Granlund set up Nino Niederreiter's first-period marker before scoring two of his own in the middle frame.

EDGE Analysis

Granlund has supreme on-ice vision and it's led to 24 assists through 53 games, but he's deposited just six goals with the lack of scoring keeping him a good distance from the elite group of NHL forwards. Even though Granlund is positioned on the top line with a No. 1 power-play role, he continues to be more of a distributor, hence the fact that he's only set 67 shots on goal.
