Really liking Shinkaruk if we're in the 7-12 range, guy seems like a clutch C and a strong leader. And home-grown talent is awesome to have. Only issue is he's a bit smaller at 5'10. But i'm guessing we'll be drafting no higher than #5, so it is likely Nate, Seth, and Jon are automatically out the window. Nurse could be taken at #3 or #4 if a team there is seeking D. So I could see us landing Barkov if we end up where are are now (#5 position). But it's impossible to predict this management/drafting staff when it comes time. They tend to surprise... But I really hope that, for once, they take the obvious choice and the bpa, no matter who Weisbroad may feel is a darkhorse. When you're top 10, you've gotta shoot straight.

Redline sees Shinkaruk as more of a winger. Not sure why'd you have him ahead of a big centre in Monahan.

You missed Jones in your list.
If we end up drafting high I'll definitely be hoping for one of MacKinnon, Drouin, Barkov, Lindholm or Monahan. Those guys look like the potential franchise centres (excepting Drouin).
Nichuskin is a risky Russian and I'd hope we stay well away unless his character is off the charts.
