HUNTER SHINKARUK - Left Wing - 24 - Drafted 2013 #24 Overall
LAST UPDATED 12/15/18
A star for the WHL's Medicine Hat Tigers, Shinkaruk has thus far failed to live up to his first-round draft status. Shinkaruk had upside as a strong, responsible top-6 winger when he was drafted, but that upside has noticeably dulled. His production in junior hockey has not translated into his AHL efforts, and his professional offensive production has been mediocre thus far. His defense, while not terrible, is similarly unimpressive. Maybe Shinkaruk ends up a 4th line energy guy, but it's unlikely at this point and he seems to be more of a AAAA tweener who bounces from AHL team to AHL team.
