Granlund scored a goal and dished a pair of assists in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund had a hand in tallies by Eeli Tolvanen and Roman Josi, with the latter's goal coming on the power play. Granlund then scored one of his own in the third period to make things interesting late in the loss. The Finn hasn't recaptured his 60-point form from his Wild tenure while in Nashville, but he's off to a strong start this season. The 29-year-old seems likely to stick in a top-six role throughout the year.

Granlund signed a four-year, $20 million contract with the Predators on Wednesday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund has been a dependable top-six contributor for Nashville over the past two campaigns, totaling 30 goals, 57 points and 204 shots on net in 114 appearances while averaging 18:32 of ice time per contest. He should continue to produce at a similar rate in 2021-22.

Granlund scored a goal, dished a power-play assist, fired three shots on goal and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund factored on both of the Predators' second-period tallies. The 29-year-old produced five points, 10 shots on net, eight hits and a minus-3 rating in six playoff contests. The Finn is an unrestricted free agent this summer. He produced only 62 points in 130 regular-season contests -- a 39-point pace in an 82-game season. He only finished two of his seven seasons in Minnesota with an equal or lesser scoring pace, so it's possible Granlund could use a change of scenery.
