I saw/read it somewhere here, but the best way to summarize this deal is that Granlund has the higher floor but Shinkaruk has the higher ceiling.
I'm alright with trades like this as Granlund was a depth player for us who had little chance of becoming an impact player in our organization. Shinkaruk is a skilled scorer who may have more of a chance of being a bust, but also has more of a chance of being an impact player for this team.
