12 and 10% shooter previous seasons and 16% last year.
I agree on the Sven deal. I like where Andersen is projecting and feel he is going to make that trade look like a good one for Calgary

I am not so convinced Granlund was sure to hit the waiver wire last year. I know that was some of the rationale to trade him. Perhaps the Flames don't acquire Versteeg or Chiasson and Granlund would have had a spot? Either way after one year the trade is not a regrettable one for Calgary as they do have strong forward depth and Shinkaruk may still pan out
