Description
Zuccarello got surgery done on his hand and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Our depth at RW at the moment is Kaprizov and..... that's it. There's only Kaprizov, a rookie, who can play top-6-minutes reliably. This is where Granlund comes in, and for a few reasons:

1) The deal will be cheap because Minnesota is one of the few teams that have the interest to add anymore in this offseason. If Granny wants to play next season, he'll have to accept a short-term, underpaying contract. This brings us to...
2) The contract would be super-cheap and we wouldn't have to commit to it long-term. Worst case scenario: Granny plays for us this year and hits the market again next summer. Even if Zuccarello comes back, we would have enough cap space for Granlund.
3) The fans would lose their minds. Too bad we can't be on the stands celebrating one of the most loved members in the history of our team coming back.
4) The unwritten "you can't return to a team you've been traded away from" rule does not apply. Since Granny left, we have gotten a new GM, a new head coach and have traded/not extended Zucker, Koivu and Staal - a huge part of our former core. The team is not the same anymore.
5) Fiala and Granlund on the same line would annoy the heck out of Nashville-fans. And I would love every second of it.

Fiala plays RW I think


He can play both. If we play Fiala in RW, it leaves a huge hole in our LW, so we need Granny anyway. Also I wanted to place him on the same line with Granlund.
