I do think granlund on 4th line instead of stajan would be better and that is before considering the money and after considering the locker room.

Granlund on the 4th line is not better than Stajan. Granlund doesn't even play as a centre very much, including with Vancouver, and is terrible on faceoffs compared to Stajan.
And "before considering money"? Money has nothing to do with it - keeping Granlund doesn't remove Stajan's salary, and I doubt any team would relieve Calgary of that obligation.
When Treliving traded Granlund, it wasn't about the roster at that time, so Bollig and Jooris are irrelevant. He traded Granlund because of waiver impacts this season, and it's pretty obvious that Jooris at the least wasn't going to be part of the team.
