If you are unfamiliar with Max Shalunov, he was originally drafted by the Blackhawks in the 4th round of the 2011 NHL Draft. Shalunov is a big-bodied center (6’4″ 210 lbs) who is a good playmaker and skates fairly well for his size. He was initially brought over to North America during the 2013-14 season, where he had an unsuccessful 20 game stint with the Rockford IceHogs (AHL) as he only tallied 4 points (4A). He also had a 40 game stint with the Toledo Walleye (ECHL) where he posted a more respectable stat line of 34 points (18G, 14A) in 43 games.
