You said that Granlund is no better than Shinkaruk and that certainly means what it sounds like it does no matter what way you spin it. A twenty goal scorer is a legitimate NHL player on any team. The Flames could certainly make room for him and it doesn't mean he has to score 20 goals again either.
I'd take him over much of the fodder in the bottom 6 that has plagued the Flames roster the last few seasons. At least you'd know he can step up and play a bigger role in a pinch than the likes of Brouwer, Stajan, Hamilton etc.

I disagree.
Hypothetically swap he and Shinkaruk right now (before this morning) and where do you slot Granlund in?
Wing of the 4th line? It makes us smaller and softer.
He's playing a bigger role on a very weak team that he wouldn't be afforded here.
No thanks.
