Wild rest Granlund as CBA talks continue
Mikael Granlund - W - Minnesota Wild
Jan. 5, 2013 - 8:30 PM ET
Mikael Granlund will be a healthy scratch for the AHL's Houston Aeros' contest on Saturday.
The Minnesota Wild decided to make sure that Granlund stays healthy in the event that a new CBA is reached in the near future. That shouldn't be taken as a sign that a new CBA is imminent, just that the Wild are making preparations for that possibility. However, this does reinforce the notion that Granlund will be called up by the Wild if the season is saved.
