HW Top 25 Under 25: #5 Mikael Granlund

If you followed last season's Top 25 Under 25, you'll likely remember that the #1 ranked player was Mikael Granlund.

This wasn't an easy decision make. With the way that the rankings turned out, Granlund, Jared Spurgeon, and Nino Niederreiter were tied for the #1 spot. But someone had to be #1. So we split hairs, and I ended up being the deciding factor in making Granlund #1, citing that he probably had the most upside.

I've felt pretty foolish since.

In a season where I felt that Granlund could be primed for a breakout, he flopped.
