I believe he has admitted on twitter that Poirier is a good prospect since then, but isn't dynamic enough for him to be considered a great prospect.

Pronman also has remained high on Shinkaruk as well. Seems to really love Hunter.
As for the comments about Nylander - Nylander may very well end up being the best pick of the draft. Many scouts felt he had the highest offensive potential out there. I think this draft will always be an interesting one to look back to as really there was so much more potential to be the 'best player' in the draft as opposed to the last few (MacKinnon, Drouin, Barkov as the best forwards last year, but can't remember much talk about anyone else except for maybe Nichushkin as the best forward).
You had different scouts or even different media outlets proclaiming Reinhart, Bennett, Nylander, Ehlers, Ritchie and I forget who else as the possible 'best pick'. Nylander, however, did have some sort of a little consensus going as the highest offensively capable player in the draft. I was sad to see him go to Toronto.
