Hoping they passed on Shinkaruk and took an even better player.
I have not heard anything bad about Poirier so maybe the Flames got this one right but most critics were stunned the Flames passed on Hunter including him.

Are they stunned that Detroit passed on him too? How about Toronto? If they are stunned that Calgary passed, they should be stunned that Washington passed too seeing as they picked after. If it's because he's from Calgary, well that's just stupid. Those critics should be ignored as I don't think any scout uses "from our home town" as criteria.
