Grans is a defender with an offensive mind and good speed making him a strong puck carrier, using his body well to cover the puck as he transports it zone-to-zone. Despite his frame, he is a mobile defenseman that can move in every direction on the ice. Even if he isn’t the fastest skater out there, he has long powerful strides and terrific balance. Defensively, he has an active stick, good gap control and uses his long reach to poke check effectively. In his own zone, he could use his physical skills more in the corners to get a stop in play and interrupt his opponent’s attack.  He looks calm with the puck and makes mature, smart plays, though due to his offensive way of playing, he sometimes forgets his defense and gets little bit behind in the neutral zone. Very hard to forecheck due to how confident and smart he is with the puck. He has great passing abilities and makes accurate tape-to-tape passes almost every time. He sees the ice well and seems to find a smart and distinct pass for the teammate that has the best position in most of his plays. On the blue line, he is active and always ready to take a shot. He has a hard shot, though he could use it more. A reliable two-way player that can play in every situation and who makes good decisions on when to keep it simple and when to make a riskier play.
