Wild trade Granlund to Predators for Fiala

The Minnesota Wild have dealt forward Mikael Granlund to the Nashville Predators for forward Kevin Fiala, the clubs announced.

Granlund, who notched 49 points in 63 games with the Wild this season, averaged 68 points per season over the previous two campaigns.

A proven playmaker, he led the Wild with 18 power-play points this season. The Predators currently own the NHL's worst power play with an efficiency rate of only 12.6 percent.

The 26-year-old is on the books through 2019-20 at a cap hit of $5.75 million.

Fiala spent parts of five seasons with the Predators after they selected him 11th overall in 2014. He collected 10 goals and 32 points with Nashville in 2018-19. The 22-year-old is a pending restricted free agent with a cap hit of $863,333.
