This season Granlund has appeared in 31 games and has 7 points (4 goals, 3 assists) for the Flames. Shinkaruk has appeared in only 1 game this season with the Canucks and has no points.

The trade deadline is fast approaching and if this any indication, the Flames could be very active in the coming weeks.
