It's interesting that the player who's stock fell the most on draft day has made the Canucks opening night roster.
Now, I'm sure once the Canucks get some players back from suspension and injury Hunter Shinkaruk will be sent back down to junior (as will Horvat). But I've got to hand it to the little guy. It's early days, but this Calgary boy has done a pretty good job so far of proving his detractors wrong.
(+3 in the preseason playing mainly on a third line really surprised me. I was expecting to see his defensive play exposed in a bottom six situation. Shows what I know.)
