I wouldn't be surprise to see him have a career elsewhere, but he's pretty much the opposite of what the Flames need.

Granlund was drafted the same year as Baertschi and unlike Sven actually had the trust of Hartley and played more. You can't just give up on all your young, self-developed players. I don't think he's going anywhere as he's got good skills, hockey smarts, and there isn't a team in the league that can't use a player like him. Never make the mistake of writing off players because they don't impress in their first playoffs as Datsyuk was horrible in his first few playoff series and he turned out pretty good.
