"He's what I consider a hard worker," Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said. "He goes to the hard areas, something that we needed more of. Not afraid to be a net-front presence guy. He's a guy that hangs onto pucks in the corners for more puck possessions, so he's a very smart hockey player."
Granlund, 33, started 2024-25 with the San Jose Sharks, racking up 45 points (15 goals, 30 assists) over 52 games before he was traded to the playoff-bound Dallas Stars on Feb. 1.
With Dallas, he scored 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) over 31 games in the regular season, adding five goals and five assists over 18 playoff games.
Granlund has been productive since being selected ninth overall by the Minnesota Wild in the 2010 NHL Draft. Over 13 seasons with the Wild (2012-19), Nashville Predators (2019-23), Pittsburgh Penguins (2023), Sharks (2023-25) and Stars, he has scored 610 points (179 goals, 431 assists).
