I know how many people here tend to hate the "Not skilled enough for top 6 and not tough enough for bottom 6" cliche and for a good reason (in today's NHL). I can't help but I see Baertschi v 2.0 in him.
What about 2nd round pick and a prospect ?

Granlund is not Baertschi V2.0. Granlund's play isn't dictated by whether he scores or not. He is a very versatile forward for the team, playing regularly on the penalty kill as well as playing almost 12 minutes a game even strength.
And if he was Baertschi there's no way he'd get a 2nd and a prospect. We were lucky that Vancouver was desperate for younger players to offer a high pick for Baertschi. I doubt we'd get that lucky again. I think his trade value is lower than what it is to the team at this moment.
Edit: I think right now Granlund probably gets a third round pick. And I'm not sure how interested Minnesota would be right now. Seems like they could use a top 6 right winger
