Hamhuis + McCann for Drouin + 2nd round pick?
How about we add Higgins in just for Drouin? they can call him up when there's injury during the playoffs. We dump a contract away

Excuse my ignorance... can someone please explain to me the meaning of "bird in the hand or two in the bush" that Sekeres keeps referring to?

He's referring to upside versus safety. Shinkaruk had a higher upside, but the Canucks feel Granlund is a safer bet to have some type of NHL career, though he has a lower ceiling.
30% of home run vs 80% Base hit
Justttt started
It's also called thinking inside the box..the problem is Benning's box is a small one that contains a flea circus.He's referring to upside versus safety. Shinkaruk had a higher upside, but the Canucks feel Granlund is a safer bet to have some type of NHL career, though he has a lower ceiling.
I wouldn't even use 80% for Granlund. He's not a good NHL hockey player.

Sekeres hit the nail on the head with his Welcome Matt bit. Gambling in trades is fine once in a while, but that's all it should be, once in a while. Most of Benning's trades have been gambles with very few actually being ones where you take advantage of other teams' positions, selling aging rentals, etc.
It's like going to the casino and playing poker vs. roulette. In poker, you know your own hand and can position yourself to achieve the best outcome a majority of the time based on the actions of others. In roulette, you're just spinning the wheel and hoping you get lucky with no skill, analysis, or anything else involved.
Sure you can get lucky, but eventually, you'll get bit and get bit hard.
Couple things i have come to realize.
1. Hamhuis wont be moved
2. We wont be acquiring any additional picks let alone a 1st
Why? Because jim benning.
JB had done nothing in the past or said anything to indicate he is trying to acquire additional draft picks.
He still thinks this is a playoff team. If you are expecting him to acquire a 1st you are kidding yourself. He is clearly targeting other players /prospects.
Yeah, everyone keeps saying Granlund is a "serviceable" NHL player, but I don't see any evidence that's the case. He was scratched six of the past ten games leading into the trade, and the Calgary media seemed to think he'd have been sent down to the AHL if Hartley didn't have some Desjardins/Vey thing going on with him.
Yes! Price is going into the Weisbrod problem.
Especially playing inside. It's like Benning keeps hoping red 14 will hit.
