Jock Cousteau Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Attaboy Shinky.. Prove the haters wrong. Let's hope he continues to develop and bring that brand of Hockey to the Canucks, it is sorely lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 No, we're gonna need his goal scoring ability in the next couple years when the Sedins are gone.We're gonna have to draft a young D ourselves. Or package some picks at the draft and pick one up like Calgary and Edmonton did.okay. It's nice to see Hunter being rewarded for his efforts. Do you think he might get a call up, for Baer maybe?

DeNiro Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 okay. It's nice to see Hunter being rewarded for his efforts. Do you think he might get a call up, for Baer maybe?Probably not unless there's a rash of injuries or if we unload some players at the deadline like I'm hoping for.

Derp... Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 For reference, Teemu Pulkkinen who led the AHL in goal scoring last year didn't have 9 goals until The end of November after 18 games. He then went on to score at about a goal per game rate from December onto his call up.Finished with 34 goals in 46 gamesShinkaruk in on pace for 37 in 46.

I'm not so sure that he'll be able to replicate this kind of goalscoring form in the NHL although I hope he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta76 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 So we bring him up right?..or no?...I say leave him down there until the deadline at least.All it will do is build his confidence. Utica is a great environment. Green is a great coach and the fans there seem to be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can use him as part of a package to get a top young D, then we don't care what Hunter does in the future because we will have another Tanev or Hutton on the back end.

Might not be much interest at this point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Wow. Now I really really really don't want Shinkaruk to be sent up. Let him dominate the AHL. Just let that kid go. Lettem adapt to being probably the best player on Utica, and let him learn the ways of being the veteran and the go-to guy. This kid's shining it up now. His confidence has probably sky-rocketed. Ugh, he's giving me a boner. (no homo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliewud Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I would rather trade hamhuis n vrbata at the deadline and draft young d.keep shinkaruk! he has potential to be an exciting player. a future shinkaruk - horvat - virtnanen line would be cool!

Darius Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Nice start. The only guy with more goals is Vatrano, and he was called up by the Bruins - had a goal today vs Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Not to be a Debbie Downer, but his shooting percentage is sky high right now. I think the fact he is getting high danger scoring chances on a regular basis is comforting though. Some of the best goal scorers from last year were shooting at a 15% plus clip in the AHL and I think it's fair to say we might see him come down to that area by the end of the year.35% just isn't sustainable. He could improve his shot output though it's only around 2.5 per game at the moment. I could see him getting to a 3.5 average pretty easily. Even if he drops to a S% of 10 for the rest of the year, he could still score 30 goals with 3.5 shots per game.Small side note Gaunce is also on pace for 30 goals... What?

DeNiro Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I hear what you're saying. I guess we need to wait and draft a young stud D. How about this Chychrun?I doubt we draft that high.I'd like us to get at least another 1st and a 2nd at the deadline. Then we can draft Niemelainen, Cederholm, Lindgren, Green, and/or Day.If we can draft 3 or 4 solid D prospects in the 2016 draft we're looking pretty good for the future.

Don't you think it would be better to get a guy around Hutton's age, who can contribute now? That's where the trade can speed up the process of a rebuild. Although with JBs track record for trades we could just be pis song away assets on another mistake - Vey and Baer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
