Forward Mikael Granlund is entering his seventh season with the Minnesota Wild, and appears to have finally developed into a go-to player the team has been searching for. Granlund will look to expand on back-to-back 65+ point seasons as a cornerstone of the Wild offense.
History
Granlund followed up on his 69 point breakout 2016-17 season with an equally impressive 67 point 2017-18 season, finishing 2nd to Eric Staal for top points on the Minnesota Wild. His 21 Goals were 3rd on the team through the Regular season.
After struggling to find his game and adapt to the speed of the NHL through his first 3 full seasons, it appears that Mikael has finally managed to put it together over the last 2 years.
