They took a gamble on Shinkaruk and it didn't pan .. now both he and Rychel are waiver risked to go down.
The other was the Baertschi trade that looks to be be working out just fine.

Yeah neither Granlund or Baertschi were long for this organization as neither were going to get the ice time they get in Vancouver and neither has ever been able to play more than 69 games in a season. I hold nothing against those players as the Flames did them a favour as Vancouver is probably the best place both of those players could have gone as they have had abysmal forward depth and one of the few teams where they could get a chance to play a regular shift.
