Mikael Granlund has filed for arbitration. Although in some cases arbitration seems to indicate a combative negotiation between a player and a team as both sides lock horns over salary and term, both Granlund’s and Nino Niederreiter’s filings don’t feel like they fall under the category to me. The Minnesota Wild’s front office is aware that these two players likely represent the two most important offensive contributors to the team if not now then in the very near future. Both players are maximizing their ability to negotiate and the team and players can negotiate a deal up until an arbitration decision is announced.
