It wouldn't be to showcase Granlund. He still has a year left on his ELC and another year of waiver exemption. He's a perfect "tweener" type player for next season if he can't crack the lineup full time. It's extremely unlikely he'll get moved at the deadline.
If anything, having him in Calgary would be to have a capable body in town in case Treliving can close a deal before tomorrow's game that will see a forward leaving town.
Most likely, he's here to cover for Byron.
