Not really. They have a lot of LW depth in Parise, Nino, and Zucker already on the roster. Kunin, Kaprizov, and Greenway all potentially challenging for roster spots after next season, then add Dal Colle to that group. They should be able to get a decent 3rd liner for relatively cheap. Or it could open up a Scandella for Kane (base) trade that's been rumored for awhile now.
That's what I mean though; this trade likely has them taking a step back this year. At best next year some of the young guys will challenge for spots and then hopefully a year or two after that they'd be back to where they are now at that position.
And if you plan on sliding Nino back over to LW that really leaves Coyle and Pominville as the only legit Top-9 RW options, which is frightening.
If you trade Granlund for a package like this you're having to sign, imo, two top-9 C/RW players (depending on where you see Ek playing).
I also have trouble understanding the allure of Kane anymore. It's been 4 or 5 years since he had a really good season. Part of that is Buffalo, part of that is his play, and part of that is his off-ice/injury troubles.
Like I said, I think this would be a step-back for the Wild and with the contracts/players they have that doesn't really make sense.
