He must be thinking hes gonna be able to sign a big UFA this summer. Thats the only thing i can think of, 1 for 1 seems pretty weird for shipping off a player of granlunds caliber.

Player and prospect would have been the absolute least I would have imagined. Player for player? I would have expected names like Josi, Ekholm, maybe Arvidson. Nashville gets a top 6 playmaker in the prime of his career, the Wild get an unproven prospect for all intents and purposes that is one year removed from a broken Femur. Nothing else. Wow. Like to hear what Leipold has to say about this.

Poile won this trade in a landslide, even if Fiala matures into a 60-point player at some time in the future. The current value of Granlund is at least 3X over Fiala. Fiala is not a top-6 forward and Granlund certainly is. Wow.

Fiala has a ton of potential but right now he's a turnover machine with the physicality of a marshmallow. He's also a RFA at the end of the year, whose personality would dictate he's probably going to want to get over-payed, and at this point in his career he's just not worth it.

This trade will work out very well for Minnesota in a few years. Not this year though.

Fiala will be a 20 - 30 goal scorer in this league, IMO he seemed snake bit this year.
