Report: Predators 'very interested' in Wild's Granlund

The Nashville Predators appear to have an eye on Minnesota Wild forward Mikael Granlund prior to Monday's deadline.

Wild general manager Paul Fenton has received what he feels are viable offers for the Finn, and the Predators are very interested, sources told The Athletic's Michael Russo.

The Minnesota GM has shopped both Granlund and Jason Zucker heavily to gauge possible returns, multiple league sources indicated to Russo.

Fenton, the former Predators assistant GM, reportedly got permission to retool the Wild's roster earlier this month.

The Predators could use a winger of Granlund's caliber, as they own the NHL's worst power play and rank 13th in goals per game.

Granlund has collected 49 points in 63 games this season, including a team-leading 18 points with the man advantage.
