#22: Hunter Shinkaruk
Position: C/LW
Age: 22
Team: Stockton Heat
Acquired from Vancouver on February 22 2016
Hunter Shinkaruk comes in at #22 on the list, having this biggest drop by far of any prospect after being ranked #8 last year. Falling fourteen spots doesn’t happen for any singular reason, but it was a combination of a down year for him and strong years from a lot of other Flames prospects.
Shinkaruk dressed for seven games with the Flames early in the season, picking up an assist. Some of his other numbers at the NHL level weren’t great, but it was a very limited sample size.
