08:33 AM ET 05.21 | All indications point to Mikael Granlund signing with the Wild soon, likely to a 2010 rookie maximum deal. The Wild must sign Granlund by June 1, or it loses his rights and the 20-year-old can re-enter the draft. But the Wild and Granlund's agent say discussions have been positive and there's no reason to sound the alarm bells. ... [Fans] can move along and solely worry about whether the Wild will land Zach Parise on July 1. The Wild already has signed forward prospects Charlie Coyle, Brett Bulmer, Johan Larsson, Jason Zucker and Zack Phillips and blue-line prospect Jonas Brodin. So, other than next month's draft, signing Granlund is the final big item on General Manager Chuck Fletcher's to-do list heading into what should be an extremely exciting and competitive July 8-15 development camp.

I hope this guy can play center, wing, defense and about 55 minutes a game.

This might be Fletcher's last shot at assembling something that resembles a playoff hockey team.
