I think for Vegas Shinkaruk is the most attractive option on the Flames. They are selecting 29 players, then signing free agents. They only need 23 on an NHL roster. That means at least 6, but likely more of their choices are going to be guys who can be sent to the AHL. Without a clear cut NHL player available, I would say they go for the forward prospect over a depth D in Jokipakka.
