ForsbergTheGreat Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Would love to see him and Ehlers together. Could you imagine Ehlers vs Shinkaruk who wins?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I wonder how it will all play out this year, Shinkaruk better get given the 9 games, so that way he is 20 and we can send him to AHL instead of wasting him in the CHL for another year. The 9 games have to be earned, if he has a bad camp, too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thad Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 This kid has got game. The song sucks. My thoughts exactly. Imagine the look on hunters face when he first watches it lol "oh sweet a new YouTube video of me, wait, what the hell is this crap" haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I really hope his skill translates to the NHL consistently. If he can succeed in making the NHL, I could see him being a 30+ goal scorer in a few years. He has the release and the passion of a good sniper and he seems very creative.

Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 People putting way too high of expectations on this poor kid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 That Black and Orange trimmed jersey looks fantastic. Since Trev is a Medicine Hat alumnus, I'd love to see us use something like this as our third or alternate jersey. The flying V would have been epic as an alternate jersey this past season...what Tiger Williams said many years ago -- "we're playing like clowns...now we're dressed like clowns" about the flying V jerseys would have been appropriate for the 2013-2014 Gillis and Tortorella-led circus act. Back on topic...hopefully Shinkaruk is fully healed from his hip injury/surgery...we need a dynamic offensive player on this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent Canuck Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Ehlers vs Shinkaruk who wins?? Ehlers is bigger and faster than Hunter is. Both have enormous skill sets and I would argue Shinkaruk is more aggressive. I think the difference between them at the pro level will be their speed.

I think the difference between them at the pro level will be their speed. Ehlers is only 162 lbs while Hunter is 180 lbs, clearly Ehlers is NOT bigger. He might be a bit taller though as I've seen him listed at 6 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference between them at the pro level will be their speed. But would you say its close? If Shinkaruk was drafted 24th does that mean he'd be ranked 6-10 this year if he was a year younger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 But would you say its close? If Shinkaruk was drafted 24th does that mean he'd be ranked 6-10 this year if he was a year younger? Considering how deep the 2013 draft was and how highly ranked he was before dropping I'd say its all but certain. Shinkaruk is bigger and more aggressive. An 18 lbs difference at the same height is not close, despite what all the people with boners for Ehlers will say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noseforthenet Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I still can't believe some of the people on here being skeptics on this kid. He is gonna be money for Van. 5 years time, everyone will have a Shinkaruk jersey. Book it! His attitude is what gets me. He seems to be more motivated than most people and way more motivated than our prospects. Reminds me of Marty St Louis in the sense that he won't lose his focus. He will keep plugging away til he makes it and his talent as seen with the video is great!!! I can see his attitude having a positive impact on the dressing room. Bring some joy to the game again for some other players in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
