#8: Hunter Shinkaruk
Position: C/F
Age: 21
Team: Calgary Flames
Drafted: 2013 #24 (Round 1, Vancouver)
Hunter Shinkaruk made his way to Calgary by way of the Vancouver Canucks. The Flames traded struggling Markus Granlund to Vancouver and gained the Calgary product in return. Shinkaruk was a little bit of everywhere last season spending time with Vancouver, the Utica Comets, the Flames and the Stockton Heat.
Shinkaruk is a 5’11, 181 lb wing with good speed. He made the most of his time with the Flames last season nabbing his first NHL point in his first game with the Flames on March 28th.
