Would we be interested in moving Granlund and Hiller in a package that would net us something along the lines of Blum, Folin, and Backstrom? Backstrom has one more year after this one, the same as Hiller. Blum and Folin would finally make our bottom 4 defensemen expendable, a luxury we don't have at the moment.
I don't put out many trade proposals, but the first thing I thought of when a saw Minnesota's goalie problems wasn't "Ramo and Hiller", but rather "Granlund".

Without knowing the Wild's center depth or who Folin is, this makes a lot of sense.
Contrary to many others, I think Stajan is a perfect 4th line C for this team moving forward and a great mentor for the kids. I would say that Granlund doesn't bring much that we don't already have in Backlund who is a great 3rd line C on our future contending team....with Monahan and (hopefully) Bennett at 1-2 we are set down the middle. If Granlund can't convert to RW he gan'
