butters Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The sad thing is that if this trade works in our favor, the loudest complainers will forget they hated the trade, and then complain louder about the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping on the bandwagon: I hate this trade. Granlund is a year and half older than Shinkaruk and is reaching the age (about to turn 23) where you would normally get a good idea of his NHL potential. So, this year he has 7 pts in 30 games. He does not contribute to the speed game or the physical game, being both slow and light. Good offensive guy at the AHL level but has not translated that skill to the NHL level (as is common for relatively small soft skill guys). On paper he is not as good as Vey and he slots in behind Henrik, Horvat, Sutter, McCann, and Vey (and Cracknell) at the center position. I was one of many people to question whether Benning wants to get rid of as many Gillis picks as possible. Fortunately Horvat and Hutton became Benning guys because he brought them up to the Canucks sooner than most people expected. As far as I can see, Benning can do one thing well -- evaluate young talent. In every other area -- contract negotiations, trades of established players, UFA signings, asset management -- he looks well below the NHL average.

Fozzy Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Lol Benning done this trade to try and make the playoffs this season. loooooooool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Jason Brough @JasonPHT 4m4 minutes ago Benning says Weisbrod knows the "character" of Baertschi and Granlund. Says he "relied on" him to supply info on Granlund's "intangibles." Weisbrod is not the guy I want Benning going to for scouting info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Granlund isnt the #2 centre on Vancouver, it was a waste. Maybe Canucks are setting up another trade? Good question. Where does Granlund fit? Not going to be second line center as that's Sutter's job for a while. Not going to be third line center as that's Bo's domain. So where? I just don't get it. Are we to believe that Shink couldn't have been a valuable add-on piece in a bigger deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugor Hill Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 If Shinks is called up, his cap hit would be around $100K higher than Granlund's. So technically this is a sell trade... although Granlund is a pending RFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Shink was safe from waivers for another year in the AHL. makes no sense to trade him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season when he had 25 points in 36 games, Granlund had 17 in 21. I doubt he was one of the reasons Baer didn't like it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we've got Anton Rodin. So it's one of those things I was just about to post on that! Rodin had an amazing year in the SHL as their leading scorer. He still wants to come back over and play for the Canucks. I wonder if that affected it, plus maybe an additional trade for Drouin. All these wingers more skilled than Shinkaruk, so JB might have wanted to get someone who still has skill but still has enough of a two-way player can still "play up and down the lineup." LW / RW Drouin (maybe) / Virtanen Baertschi / Rodin Grandlund / Boeser Plus Gaunce, Kenins, and any of the recent draftees. Maybe there is a vision here that our knee jerk reactions aren't seeing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolwut? Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 28 pages now of people freaking out about Shinkaruk as if he's the next Ovie.. good grief. For all we know Shink may not ever break into an NHL lineup and STAY there.. I'm not saying yet whether this trade is good or bad, and neither should anyone else. Just because he's our first round pick and can score in the AHL means nothing when it comes to the NHL. Its a shame we won't get to find out how things would have gone with Hunter, but the over-reactions in this thread is a great depiction of this fanbase.. losing their minds collectively at the first sign of change. WTF to all of you, along with Benning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
