I was sure yesterday that Calgary acquired Shinkaruk to package him up with something else for one of Drouin or Nichushkin. Don't think that is going to happen, but that is what crossed my mind yesterday.
I have to believe that Treliving has been in on Nichushkin in particular - seems like a good kid who Hartley will actually like since he tries playing sound defence, and is decent on the boards. Not sure what Dallas really wants - Hudler + a prospect like Klimchuk or Poirier (or Shinkaruk?). Russell plus one of the aforementioned prospects? I would be curious to know Nichushkin's value - I imagine it is higher than Drouin's at the moment since one prospect is playing, coachable and is not demanding a trade.
