First Alex Edler almost hits me with his car at UBC, and now this trade. Seriously? Wow. So he does hit people on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically he was our most superior prospect compared to anyone in the system. Are you high on that reggie bush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This move is baffling even if you don't think Shink is a solid prospect. Why go out and get a player that you have no need for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 the thing of note to me is it seems unlikely that benning would disturb utica's chemistry before a playoff run if there wasn't something else in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I was heading to watch their practice at UBC and just as I am cutting through the parking lot, a car pulls out and almost hits me. I look at the driver and its none other than Alex Edler.

Cowgary Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Take a step back from your laptop and desktop armchair GM's and let's see how Granlund performs before we tear Benning a new one. Good flipping grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So neither side seems to like the move. Which usually means the value was closer than either side wants to admit or is ready to realize. Not calling it a good trade. Just saying it's probably not as bad as either fan base currently believes. Hate losing Shinkaruk. I liked the kid both for his skill set and personality. Never been high on Granlund but never really cared to learn much about him either (which obviously changes today). Ahhhh....Voice of reason....music to my eyes I checked out the Flames boards. They aren't as upset as we are. They're ambivalent and down on Granlund. They say he'll never be a top 6 forward, and would be a flawed bottom 6 forward who would be a nightly scratch target. They're ambivialent because they are 2 young players who make minor contributions at this point in their careers. If they're ambivalent and most people on CDC are instantly upset, that means they won. Check it out: http://fans.flames.nhl.com/community/topic/21987-trade-granlund-for-shinkaruk/ Clearly the Canucks lost value in this trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
