Shinkaruk dropped (by all teams from 10 to 24) for pretty clear reasons. If they had him agead of Monahan, they were the only ones. Monahan was 5/6 on pretty much every list and Shinkaruk was more typically 10th to 12th.

The funny thing is you could compare Horvat to multiple 2013 players and come up with the same conclusion that Horvat shouldn't have been taken 9th overall regardless of having Bennett in the draft. Yet the Canucks saw something in him that made them take him over Nichushkin, Domi, Wennenberg, Zadorov, Pulock etc. etc. I don't know what it was exactly, but it might be enough to take him over Bennett if given the chance.

Pure pointless speculation. Vancouver liked him over those other players, yes. And they took him a bit early by some accounts.
What is your point/ That doesn't make him a comparable to a guy that was #1 overall by CSS.
It just doesn't. You're making an empty, speculative argument, ignoring the facts.
