Scottish⑦Canuck Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Craig Button thinks it's a good deal. ... We're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The fact that Benning thinks Shinkaruk success can't translate to the NHL is worrying. The fact he traded for a player who has sucked in the NHL before even giving Shinkaruk a shot is even more worrying. We just might have the next Jay Feaster on our hands.

Mustapha Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Craig Button thinks it was a good deal, but he's also a huge homer and his brother works for the Flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've had it with Benning. This deal is just...wow. Will not be watching a game for the rest of the season. Benning is an idiot. I'm just absolutely flabbergasted. 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). Huh. I'm surprised. They were upset when they passed on Shinkaruk at the draft and with the year he's having they'd have to think this was great luck to get another chance at him. Or had they done enough convincing themselves of his faults to write him off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Granlund does have an upside even though you can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabychStache Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I just out GM'b JB. Just traded my Signed Shinkaruk Tigers Jersey for an Xbox one plus 6 games to a Flames fan. Pretty content with that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line was that Hunter was our drafted and developed guy and we moved him. It's stupid. Im on my phone and I can't bold for some reason. But on your second sentence. Yeah we tend to do that a lot apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocanuck Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I can see why we traded shinkaruk...why would anybody want to watch a kid with skill and potential who has fun playing the game? An untested player for Linden Vey version 2.0 Great deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shink's mythical upside is better than Bartshi's? Or the 2nd is better than Granlund? These trades aren't going to make or break either team imho. But it wasn't. You can try to polish up a turd all you want, but it doesn't make this deal stink any less. Did we feel sorry for Calgary and decide to even up the deal?

He's been a bright light of hope for the new org direction. and benning just dropped a lake of water onto that little light. most of us have not enjoyed watching hockey this season, it's been hard to watch. But we still do cause we are real fans. so when one small ray of Hope and joy is taken for very shaky reasoning and even more questionable timing it is very upsetting. let us grieve guilt free stealth! Let us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
