The point of dealing Grandlund would be to deal from a position of surplus in order to acquire an asset in a position of scarcity. And since most NHL GMs aren't idiots, if you're trying to pick up a defence prospect with a good shot of sticking in the NHL, you're going to have to give up a young player with the same value.
If all we're willing to deal are marginal prospects, then that's all we're likely to get in return.
