Point progressions over the last 3 seasons...
Shinkaruk:
2011/12 91 pts 1.38 PPG
2012/13 86 pts 1.34 PPG
2013/14 10 pts 1.43 PPG (7 games - he must be injured)
Poirier:
2011/12 40 pts 0.60 PPG
2012/13 70 pts 1.08 PPG
2013/14 29 pts 1.61 PPG
While Shinkaruk has been flat, Poirier has been improving by half a point per game each year.
The progressions for goals are even more pronounced...
49 G 0.74 GPG
37 G 0.58 GPG
4 G 0.57 GPG
15 G 0.22 GPG
32 G 0.49 GPG
14 G 0.78 GPG
Then consider things like size and grit - hard to disagree with their choice.
