Proposal: Granlund for Fiala Redux

[mondo13]

poile fleeced minnesota on this trade so i'm going to say that he won't want a reversal.

 

[Stubu]

Damn, would it have been too much to ask to spell out Granlund?

This is a MiG:

The far more well-known MiG is the 15/21 generation.

Maybe you were thinking of the far superior Su-27 and its ilk. MiG-29 has been a failure, even the latest -29K naval variants.

Markus Granlund in Canada wants no association with that kit.

(I have a soft spot for the 21bis hot rods we used to have but that's old times.)

Meh jury is still out on Fiala they are underlying numbers are pretty similar. However I still Think the Wild should have got more for Granlund.

 

[Wasted Talent]

I hope that I see enough from Granlund to have the strong love that he gets from Minnesota fans. You barely knew Granlund was on the team last year. I honestly forget to put him in our lineup when I am thinking through the roster. He was just there. I guess MAYBE that is better than Fiala who was turnover prone, but Fiala also had some pretty entries at the same time.

Granlund was a very different player in the first half of the season and his decline already started a month or two before the trade. There was even some speculation about him playing through a groin injury. Just looking at the stats, he had 37 points in the first 38 games and then only 12 in the 25 games before the trade.

Count me in the optimistic crowd that thinks it was a combination of new team, new baby, new life, and prolonged injury that was a perfect storm to really crush his play. If we get the 0.8 ppg player to go with Duchenne then we are in business.

Guerin says no and signs him as a FA after the season...

Ha, that won't happen.

 

[jumb0]

Poile would say no.

Granlund is going to have a really good year.

Granlund would had signed definitely with Wild before the trade, afterwards no change.. considering timing it was almost insulting

I agree, it hasn‘t changed.
Fenton‘s gone btw.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

It still hurts me to see granny in a Nashville Jersey. I just wish he was out of the division.

 

[Arwin]

41, 39, 44, 69, 67, 54

is not a 70 point player but ok.

If you take his last 3 seasons in Minny, his ppg average is 0.84. That is over 68 points in full season, so it's pretty close.

 

[SotasicA]

Damn, would it have been too much to ask to spell out Granlund?

This is a MiG:

There are two Granlunds though.

And MiG is a cool nickname because of the fighter jet. Better than MaG at least...

 

[Tysonson3]

I would probably take the trade back but I was a big Fiala fan. A good year by granlund and a reasonable extension would change my mind however

What was Granlund’s problem in Nashville last season?

 

[Soundgarden]

What was Granlund’s problem in Nashville last season?

Completely invisible, you couldn't even tell he was on the roster most nights. Having said that he was acquired at a pretty crazy time in his life, I'm sure with a proper training camp here he gets a nice fresh start.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Granlund was also acquired at a time when the whole team was kind of playing like crap.

 

[W75]

Fiala for Gewürztraminer + 2020 2nd and conditional 3rd?

 

[TaLoN]

Damn, would it have been too much to ask to spell out Granlund?

This is a MiG:

And to answer your question, Poile says no:



Up close with David Poile: On Mikael Granlund, Kyle Turris,...

Fiala's ceiling is Granlund's basement.

That's a MiG, but this is a MiG-64 - must not have repainted it with the Preds colors yet etc is all.
