Granlund agreed to terms on a contract with KHL club Salavat Yulaev Ufa on Sunday, TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund started the 2019-20 campaign on the 23-man roster with Edmonton, but after struggling to produce was waived and shipped down to the minors in late December. The 26-year-old made a few more appearances in the NHL prior to the league going on hiatus, yet he was ultimately limited to just 34 contests in which he logged 10:50 of ice time per game. With his contract up at the end of the season, the center will make the move to the KHL, having last played in Europe back in 2012-13 for Finnish side HIFK Helsinki.

Granlund was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund went pointless in two appearances during his most recent stint with the Oilers. The Finn will continue to be near the top of the list for forward call-ups.

Edmonton recalled Granlund from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kailer Yamamoto is considered week-to-week with an ankle injury, so Granlund is likely in for an extended stay with the big club. The 26-year-old forward has notched four points in 32 games with the Oilers this season.

Granlund was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund's demotion could be an indication that Sam Gagner (undisclosed) will be good to go for Wednesday's matchup with Boston. In 32 NHL outings this year, the 26-year-old Granlund has notched three goals, one helper and 23 shots while logging 11:00 of ice time per game. This likely won't be the last call-up for Granlund before the end of the regular season.

Granlund was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund has appeared in 31 games for the Oilers this season, notching three goals, one assist and 23 shots. The center will likely compete with Colby Cave for a spot in the lineup while Connor McDavid (lower body) is on the shelf.

The Oilers waived Granlund for the purpose of reassignment to AHL Bakersfield on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Granlund has been a healthy scratch often lately, playing just three of the past eight games. The 26-year-old has just four points over 31 NHL games this season, but perhaps the Oilers are hoping he'll slip through waivers to land in Bakersfield, where he can continue to work on his game.

Granlund has gone 10 games without a point.
EDGE Analysis
The Finn has served as a healthy scratch four times in that span. Granlund has just four points and 23 shots through 31 games this season. He'll likely continue to play a part-time role in the bottom-six.

Granlund hasn't registered a point in his last six appearances.
EDGE Analysis
The Finn has picked up six PIM in that span, which comes after a stretch in which he had three goals in four contests. If Granlund can't get the penalties under control, coach Dave Tippett may cycle him out of the lineup for a few games. Such a move would have little impact in fantasy circles -- Granlund has just four points through 27 appearances this season.

Granlund scored the game-tying goal in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers entered the third period down by a goal, but Granlund's third tally in his last four games tied the score at three. The recent goal binge has Granlund up to four points in 21 appearances. He had 22 points in 77 contests with the Canucks last season, but he'll need to be elevated off the fourth line to sustain his recent success for any extended length of time.

Granlund scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The Finn's second goal in his last three games put the Oilers ahead 3-1 in the second period. At the end, it wound up as the game-winner. Granlund's tally was also his 100th NHL point, coming in his 321st career game. The forward has only three points in 20 appearances this season, but all three have come in eight November outings.
