Doubt the Wild trade Mikael Granlund. He is their best center prospect, had a hell of a performance at the Olympics, and probably going to be the best center on the team after Koivu starting next season. Their next best center prospect is Zach Phillips who is scoring at less than 0.5pts/g in his 2nd year in the AHL. Unless they acquire another legit center, Mikael is not going anywhere.

Wild may have an interest in Markus Granlund but it won't be for a roster player, at least not until the offseason and while they still hold a playoff spot and/or Markus proves that he is an everyday NHLer (i.e. not a few games played before the deadline).
