Canucks' Markus Granlund: Returning for training camp

Granlund (wrist) said he'll be ready for training camp next season.

Analysis:

After missing the final 11 games of the campaign and taking the entire offseason to recover, Granlund will very likely be healthy for the start of the 2017-18 season, when he'll be looking to build on his most productive campaign yet. While seeing the heaviest workload of his young career, the 23-year-old posted personal bests in goals (19), assists (13) and shots on goal (122). He'll need to improve on the defensive end of the ice, as Granlund's minus-19 rating will attest, but he's certainly an intriguing player to watch going into next season.
