Confirmed with Link: Trade: Kerby Rychel for Hunter Shinkaruk (Flames)

[The Great Weal]

We have to trade a few guys before the season starts. Too many forwards and dmen.

 

[Milhouse40]

So i guess Bergevin is back from vacation and already at work

 

[Bloumeister]

Hey , stop being so hard on him , he's been working the phones for weeks to get this deal done.

"Being an NHL GM is hard" -Marc Bergevin.

After a while, I forget how many 'shoops I've made on the subject

 

[OldCraig71]

Another rough diamond.

 

[jaffy27]

While i understand what youre doing

Why did we HAVE to trade Rychel? when were trying to trade someone else?

Because we can’t trade Pacioretty doesn’t mean every other possible trade should be put on hold......maybe Bouchard likes Shinkaruk’s game??

Either way, it’s a trade that shouldn’t be praised like an act of genious and it shouldn’t be laughed at either.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Boys and girls we got our franchise center.

I actually like this trade. It feels a need without sacrificing anything. It doesn't hurt the team. Fair trade for both teams.

It remains to be seen if Shinkaruk can become a good player like everybody expected.

Negotiations with Rychel were hard I believe which forced MB's hand.

 

[slybel]

What's the phonetics on that?

 

[Jee]

I like his name

 

[jaffy27]

I wish it was McCarron we dealt instead.

Before that happens I’d like to see what Bouchard can do with him......you never know

 

[Hostile Offer]

I don't see this amounting for anything. Neither player is likely ever going to carve an NHL career of any sort of significance.

Yes needs to trade players like Shaw and JDLR or you are going to lose players for free on waivers.

TBH when we got Danault he was 23 too, maybe theres some potential left in Hunter.

Rychel is also 23 and he had better stats

 

[PhysicX]

Rychel is also 23 and he had better stats

From what I saw at Place Bell and in the NHL, Rychel was going to amount to nothing. On to the next one.

 

[BLONG7]

Well a trade must mean the clown is back from vacation.

As per Pierre Lebtun, MB, is the hardest working man in hockey!! Vacations don't really happen, yes MB is dat good!!

 

[The Great Weal]

I saw some good things in him. Miles ahead of McCarron.

 

[Tabarouette]

there's no downside to that trade

might not be an upside, but it's better than nothing? question mark?

 

[BLONG7]

What’s funnier than this trade is posters trying to make fun of it......the desire to ridicule runs strong here

MB would explain it to us, but we really wouldn't understand, so dare is no need to show us his transparency like dat eh...

 

[Habs Icing]

Both are 23...

Darz is correct. Rychel was born on Oct 7th. Shrinkmyrock on October 13th.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Before that happens I’d like to see what Bouchard can do with him......you never know

I just don’t think he’ll ever have the skating ability to keep up tbh. I’d like to be proven wrong though.

 

[Habs Icing]

As per Pierre Lebtun, MB, is the hardest working man in hockey!! Vacations don't really happen, yes MB is dat good!!

If these past 6 years are due to hard, diligent work, maybe he should pull a Costenza and try loafing off, taking it easy, put his feet up on the desk and go to sleep......permanently. In his own immortal words, "it can't hurt."

I’d put money on your prediction, I’d just like to see him at least have a crack at McCarron.....

 

[Pacciosoftie]

I thought Kerby had tons of attitude? Isn’t that was Bergie is looking for?
