What do you think that price would be? Looks like he's got 4 more years at $5 mill per, so salary would have to go back.

I believe one of our defenders would be going that way, probably Spurgeon as they would need one solid defender with great offensive skills.
I wouldn't want to give up any of our top-4 Dmen though. I'd try to figure out something else.

Really?
Tampa has some good, young centers coming up it sounds like.
I would rather we go after one of them and not another aging forward. We just have enough older forwards on our team...

What do you do with Granlund if you trade for Filppula? 3rd line of Nino-Granlund-Coyle?

Fair enough. However, we'd have to shed cap if we brought in another established player like that though.
I don't think the cap would be a problem. If they were to add Flip, you would have to think Spurgeon is going the other way.
IMO- Granlund would be traded before they moved him to wing. Granlund adds nothing to this team playing on the wing.

I wonder what kind of price it would cost to bring Jumbo Joe in for a run? Obviously not a long term answer but man would he look good in a Wild sweater!
Edit: forgot about NMC he has...he's probably not waiving that to come here

Granlund has really been stepping up lately along with Coyle and Haula. You can never have enough depth at center but assuming Brodziak stays and with Ryan Carter coming back center isn't my biggest concern right now. When Granlund plays confidently he gets much better in the face-off department and right now he is second to Koivu in FO% on the team.
One big need this team needs to address for this season and the potential playoff run is some grit. Whether its at wing or a defense, we could use a bigger physical presence. This team is going to need some pushback when we play the bigger tougher teams. Right now our forward group looks great so its hard to take anybody out but its a need I believe Fletcher needs to address. Some available names according to TSN Matt Belesky, Curtis Glencross, Chris Stewart, Chris Neil, Erik Cole. Some of those guys would cost too much but I think Belesky would be a nice fit.

He failed in Vancouver because they played him primarily at center. He's a better winger at the NHL level.
With Wild acquring Pominville in 2013 and Moulson last yr I wonder if GMCF will make the big trade this year?
