I'm stoked at the talent we got at this year's draft.. Horvat/Shinkaruk/Subban.. but I'm more stoked at us grabbing Hunter with the 24 pick (such a steal). He looked very excited to be a part of the team as well which is great to see. I'm glad CGY was gonna snatch him up too

There is a reason Hunter Shinkaruk dropped at the draft on Sunday. His defensive game is bad. He isn't big or strong. It is really hard (impossible) to make a claim that teams made a mistake by passing on him. Way too early.
Shinkaruk could be the next Zach Parise, who dropped for size-related reasons. Or he could be the next Angelo Esposito, who also dropped down the list in his respective draft year. My point - it is simply way too early to say teams made a mistake by passing on him. He is among the few players I have actually seen from this draft class, and I really liked what I saw. But I can't compare him to many of the guys who were taken immediately before him, as I haven't seen them enough to really offer a full and complete opinion. - Jeff Angus
