«The San Jose Sharks traded Granlund to Dallas ahead of the deadline,» Baugh wrote. «He can play both center and wing and is on the left of a line with Roope Hintz and Mikko Rantanen. The 33-year-old would not make the Rangers any younger, but his age could make him a little more affordable in free agency.
«As is the case with the other free agents on this section of the list, New York would almost certainly need to move money to have the space for Granlund,» Baugh added. «AFP Analytics projects he will get a two-year, $4.9 million average-annual-value deal, only a slight decrease from his current cap hit.»
