So that's why he's so popular here Sorry but I see Shink in the same light as Jordan Shroeder and Cody Hodgson,. Kids that have great minor league game but can't quite crack the pro level... Sometimes it's about priming in age. Some kids prime early, some late, some lose it , cause others get better later and out perform them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your term, " priming age". I'm going to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaches5 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) WD (on Granlund): Yea, He's real good. He's good both ends of the rink, makes real good passes. Reminds me of Vey. Vey is real good too. Edited February 23, 2016 by peaches5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Toe Drag Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 54 minutes ago, LaBamba said: It sucks that this kid is so completely undeserving of this kind of hate. I am routing for this kid extra, in spite of this crap on CDC. Ya I totally agree. Haters are shining hard right now. Give the guy a chance. He's definitely not Vey, he plays a solid 2 way game, great american league numbers, older, bigger. Shink was flashy in juniors and down in Utica but I dont see it translating as much as the homerism in me wanted to. How many flashy undersized wingers are in the NHL and actually impact scorers? I can think of maybe 2 or 3 off the top of my head. Also this is a great opportunity for McCann to get top line minutes down in Utes and develop into the player the nucks need in a couple years. Benning has a plan, lets just sit back and see what happens next instead of complaining. I love Shink and wish the hometown Calgary boy the best. As for Markus, welcome, my dude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logic Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I can see him getting converted to wing imo, it is easier to go from C to wing than wing to C. At first I was extremely pissed off but the younger Grandlund has better numbers and size than I thought, -1 1/2 years older than Shinkaruk with 2 more years of pro experience. -46 points in 52 games in first AHL Season 28 points over 86 NHL games not amazing NHL numbers but I'm sure the quality of line mates was not exactly that great. this leads me to believe one of our centers is being included in a package for a more dynamic winger or d prospect. I would say Drouin but he just does not seem like a benning guy to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeydew Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Bright side is that if we're keeping Granlund at least he'll have the Sedins teaching him and potentially Rodin hopefully soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm sure this has been covered but can Granlund be sent to Utica without going through waivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Not that I'm crazy about the trade, but never been a fan of Hunter and think he's being pretty heavily overvalued here. Put him 10 feet or closer to the net with the puck on his stick on a PP and he's a decent threat, in all other situations...absolutely useless. That said, another small center that doesn't really do anything well?? I guess we really know what JB thought of Hunter, apparently the rest of the GM's feel the same way.

If even but for one reason -- Granlund has actually made the NHL because he has NHL game. Shinkaruk right now does not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
