Fleury's cap hit is $3.5 million, while Granlund's and DeSmith's combined cap hit is $6.8 million. Where do you expect Minnesota, of all teams, to come up with $3.3 million (minus the player Granlund replaces) of cap space?

Not to mention that Granlund is being paid more than he's worth.

. . . and that would be true even if his actual cost wasn't $11 million on a $10 million cap hit.

Minnesota declines. They aren't taking on granlund contract, nor do the gmnwant him. It's been reported many times

Waive Granlund and see if anyone bites. If not let him rot in WBS.

Montreal passes, we are too deep at LD to add Joseph, we have almost no interest in a prospect barely treading water in the AHL and I highly doubt Carter waives his NMC or that Montreal would have interest there either.

Wild and Habs easily decline, Pens shouldn't remotely consider that LA deal. Massive waste of Ty Smith.
