Why would you waste Granlund on the 4th line? I believe that if you ship Granlund during the trade deadline, you can at least get a 2nd. That is, if he is desirable for any team (he won't be if he is left on the 4th)

I think Granlund is in for a strong bounceback season, but I think even optimistically thinking, it's still far-fetched to think he'll net SJ back a 2nd simply because of his cap-hit and having another year on his deal. That said, hopefully he'll earn his way into the top-6. Looks like Hoffman's starting up with Hertl at least to start training camp, so taking that into account as well.

Not realistic.
I see this being more reasonable

Eklund Hertl Zadina
Duclair Granlund Barabanov
Hoffman Bordeleau Zetterlunf
Peterson/Lindblom Sturm Kunin/Labanc
Smith

Thrun Rutta
Ferraro Knyzhov
Vlasic Benning
Burroughs

Kahkonen/ Blackwood

Simek Macdonald waived and likely picked up by another team or sent to the AHL.
