kenhodgejr Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 From Minnesota: 2nd line RW Mikael Granlund From Vancouver: Alex Burrows + Columbus 2nd pick for 2017. or Yannick Hansen no picks. Why we do it: We get younger with a 24 year old Fin and create a line with both Granlund brothers. (They could replace the Sedins as first line Brothers) Also we get an NHL ready RW in case Virtanen and Boesser take longer than expected Why they do it: They get a playoff proven work horse in either guys. Hansen is playing the best hockey of his career and has a low cap hit and is arguably a better player now than Granlund Beartchi Horvat Boesser Granlund Sutter Granlund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Lol. Minny won't do this. Mikael is having a career year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 No way Minnesota accepts either deal. Burrows is my favourite player on the Canucks but him + 2nd round pick is nowhere close to Granlund's value. Hansen is nowhere close to being the player Granlund is. Granlund has three 40 point seasons under his belt at the age of 24 and is currently on pace for 72 points. Hansen has never even cracked 40 points in his career. His best season was when he had 38 points in 67 games (46 point pace) but Granlund is already at 43 points this season in just 49 games. I don't think Hansen will ever reach that kind of production.

kenhodgejr Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 What about if we traded LW/C Marcus Granlund for the Wild's 2nd round prospect- 6ft 5, 222 lbs, LW, Jordan Greenway? We get a heavy weight this team needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I don't think we get the older granny for any thing close to what you propose here. Bidding would start at Hutton Hansen Boeser +1st. Granlund is only 24 and a legit franchise player scoring at nearly .9 ppg and playing a sound 200" game on pace for a 72 point season to put it into perspective the Canucks top scorer is on pace to score only 53 points.

I would think Soda would have great interest in Granlund's younger brother who is on pace for 20 goals playing a responsible 2 way game on our 3rd line.

kenhodgejr Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Minnesota Wild current lines Nino Niederreiter Eric Staal Charlie Coyle Jason Zucker Mikko Koivu Mikael Granlund Zach Parise Erik Haula Jason Pominville Chris Stewart Tyler Graovac Jordan Schroeder revised lines Nino Niederreiter Eric Staal Charlie Coyle Marcus Granlund Mikko Koivu Mikael Granlund Zach Parise Erik Haula Jason Pominville Jason Zucker Tyler Graovac Chris Stewart Minnesota has a good chance at winning the cup. They love the idea of uniting the brothers for their careers. We are building a team for tomorrow and Greenway could be a solid piece moving forward that helps form a new identity. If we have to add a defence man like Sbisa and a pick or maybe Miller to help them with their cup run i say its worth taking a chance on a guy like that. Going into this summer knowing we have a prospect like Greenway to build chemistry with Virtanen, Boesser, and Lockwood would be a really good thing.

Where he was drafted makes no difference two years later. Teams don't trade budding powerforwards unless they are getting back a piece which is going to complete their team. Players like Greenway are extremely rare to find, most PWF that get drafted end up busts. When you find one that is actually living up to his potential you don't move that player unless it addresses a need. If you show this proposal to Wild fans they would laugh.

I guarantee you would get run out of there though. http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=2164139&page=20 You are overstating Granlund's value defensively as well. He has along way to go before he is the kind of two way forward you can demand a premium for. The first step would be cutting down the obscene amount of goals against when he is on the ice.

The first step is for Jordan Greenway to actually set foot on the ice in the NHL your over stating his value IMO he's still got a long ways to go before he's proven half of what Granlund has. As I stated I think the value is pretty close at least not laughably far off as you state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I would argue that our Granlund is a promising young player and could be a substitute for their aging core, but so is Greenway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would probably like to move Pominville to clear cap space but he has a NMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
