Hostile Offer

Canucks didn't qualify Granlund, Flames didn't qualify Rychel. Whole thing pretty much a wash.
Minor deals that didn't help any team involved go anywhere but individually the Canucks easily got the best player and most NHL contribution in the Shinkaruk trades. Calgary didn't get much when they traded one year of Shinkaruk for one year of Rychel (I mean, what did anyone expect) but at least Rychel scored four times more points in the AHL last year than Shinkaruk. Shinkaruk was practically useless at the AHL level. His career is on a big downward spiral.
