Minny gets younger, cheaper and likely has a player that will quite easily replace Granlund's offence with increased ice time and PP time.
In a cap world, Granlund wasn't pulling his salary Plus he's got 1 more year until UFA, where it would take an unwanted contract to pay him during his regressing years.
Looks like a smart move by the new GM.

I've always been pretty underwhelmed by Granlund. He shows signs from time to time of being a really good player, but not anything like elite.
