Unlike the Canucks GM, ours is able to make sensible trades that make the team better and with 4 picks in the top 60 of this years draft shouldn't be a problem to get a number 1 goalie for a good GM. Have fun living in the embarrassing benning era

You have been flagged you little rat

Idk if your blind but I said he's the only one who's not..? But on the other hand 28 points isn't really a lot to brag about for a "second line winger"

Sorry man, once he was flagged, well, I couldn't leave his fate to others...I only stepped in for his own good...

lol no you're not

Sorry for your dog, I have 2 that I could do without

You must be so much fun at parties.
- Marwood

I have two rules at parties:

1) No politics/theory/philosophy
2) Have fun, don't hold back.

I am a lot more fun than I am on a message board, but I like hockey and I respect a lot of the opinions on here (the ones that are well thought out, not just mindless insults with no actual intelligent content). Thanks for your helpful commentary though.

Neem, give it a rest and stick to hockey discussions

Fair.

It doesn't matter now, we can cheer for the Canucks, will it help the Canucks, that's another story.

We can always cheer for progress not every thing is measured by W/L.

I think you had a different version of Eats, Shoots, and Leaves than I did.

I've been trying that for years with zero (frank)ing luck...

Whatever gets you through the night about losing a solid top six scoring winger???
- Bigalow

lol...one game one goal on PP where Shink can't score anywhere else. Superstar.

Good luck with year 13 of your current rebuild next year...

I get the need to defend Benning and the team and all but, the odds are in Shink's favor that he out-performs Granlund.

pure and simple.

If Shink gets top 6 minutes maybe. Granlund had better AHL numbers on a PPG basis and lots at even strength. Where the majority of Shink's #'s were PP.

We'll see.

Sure, but Granlund is literally the exact same player as Vey. Both somewhat light and small, skilled passers, iffy on face-offs, poor puck skills and ineffective down low, along the boards and on the cycle.

At-least Shink had the skill-set to bring something new/needed to the team, i.e, finishing ability.

Sh!t trade then, sh!t trade now.
Even if both fail to become full-time NHL'ers i still feel as though he lose this trade out of pure necessity

I think Baertschi will replace Shinks potential just fine. The team only needs so many second line LWers. I think they also probably have Rodin ahead of Shink on the depth charts too. There were 20 plus other GMs that could have chose Shinkaruk but went in a different direction.

Hopefully so.

Banking on (frank)ing Anton- subsequent bust-Rodin is a little sketchy IMO lol.

I'm going to give each player 50 games on their new team before making statements like this. Your analysis of Granlund isn't close

How did I know that coming on here the morning after Shinkaruk gets his first NHL goal, and I would see the posts that I have.... You guys are brutal lol

Good for you!

Ohhh, in what way?

41% on the draw.
10 pounds lighter than Vey, VEY!
Weak on the puck.
Manhandled every game, both in Van and Cal.
He skates pretty.
Poor possession player.
