3 Potential Trade Destinations for Sharks' Mikael Granlund

The San Jose Sharks are in the middle of a serious rebuild. Due to this, there is a good chance that we will see them continue to trade veteran talent this season. Mikael Granlund is their most notable pending UFA, so he could be a popular trade target this campaign. Let's discuss three teams who could look to add him now. 

Winnipeg Jets: The Winnipeg Jets will likely like to improve their middle six once we get closer to the trade deadline. With Granlund being able to play both down the middle and on the wing, he would be a solid addition to their group if acquired.

New York Islanders: The New York Islanders could be a club to watch when it comes to Granlund. They made a strong move when they signed Anthony Duclair this offseason, but they could still use one more offensive forward for their top nine. Thus, a player like Granlund could make sense for them if they are once again in the playoff hunt this season. 

Vegas Golden Knights: The Vegas Golden Knights will likely look to add to their forward group once we get closer to the deadline. They lost several players this past offseason, so they could be in the mix for Granlund this season. He would give them more secondary offensive production and fit virtually anywhere in their middle six.
