As for the waived players, doubt we lose any of them and if we do, it doesn't really matter. They haven't shown any ability to improve or take another step.

I wasn't saying he isn't better than Shinkaruk, I was saying it doesn't make him better than he is. Shinkaruk's lack of progress does not make Granlund a good hockey player.
What he is is not good enough to make the Flames. And no, he would not have gotten 19 goals with the Flames, because he simply wouldn't have gotten the same opportunities.
Are you going to reduce Bennett's icetime and give it to Granlund?
