Like the trade so far. Hopefully in the long run we are laughing.

It's funny because for some reason Benning and the Canucks doubt Shinkaruk's goal scoring will translate. Presumably due to size I guess.
Meanwhile I still think Baertschi and Granlund will have trouble being successful offensive players in the NHL because they aren't big enough, strong enough and fast enough. Shinkaruk is faster, more agile and elusive and more gritty than either Sven or Markus. I think we might've gotten the best of the undersized forwards in question.
