Prior to the trade:
Granlund 86 NHL games, 14 goals
Shinkaruk 1 NHL game, 0 goals
They were traded straight up, and it went like this;
After the trade:
Granlund 135 NHL games, 29 goals
Shinkaruk 14 NHL games, 2 goals
That was not a franchise-defining move, but it does show a horrible player evaluation. Treliving had just traded NHLer for AHLer.

He's got 8 goals this season. I'm not so sure he's a legit full time NHL player as to me he would have been in and out of the Flames lineup as a healthy scratch. You can argue that Baertschi may have been somewhat useful for this team but Andersson isn't a bad return.
