Value of: Mikael Granlund to a contender

[TheBeard]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was 2026. That's fairly normal for a trade structured in this sort of manner.

Actually I'm wrong anyways. We have one from the Ceci trade. We just don't know which it'll be until the season ends because of the Lilljgren trade.

We also don't have our own 2026 from the EK65 trade lol. We're also down 5th and 6th rounders in 2026 so I'd rather not move any more from that year.

Hell, while we're at it, we don't have our 3rd in 2027 either.

I'm sure there may be a 3rd round pick sent to us renting out some of our other players this deadline too. Ceci is probably worth a 3rd. Blackwood might fetch a 3rd. Sturm could though that is a stretch.

Value probably doesn't correlate with level-of-play at the moment. His main value is as a Top-6 C + #1unit PP guy. Most playoff teams have better or equal calibre players already in those positions. So you're looking at a situation where it's definitely best to wait until closer to the deadline to see if there are injuries anywhere that drive up the need.

As others have said, his effectiveness for the team acquiring him will probably depend on his usage, and the system in place. He's a peacock; you've gotta let him fly. But don't go chasing waterfalls.

His value likely falls somewhere between some of the more reasonable asks from Sharks fans, and some of the less putrid offers from other fan bases. I feel as though Winnipeg, Boston, Carolina, and New Jersey would be solid fits.

The equivalent value of two 2nd rounders, or we probably keep him.

A 3rd max.
He's still a good player, but he isn't a great center on the dot, and his defense is overrated.
i.e. he might work as a 3rd line center, but he won't provide the grit you want,
Or he could be a 2nd line / power play guy.
But on a contender?
