The point is that Shinkaruk is not close to being an NHL player yet.
So sending him to the AHL this year isn't a case of 'not rushing' him, it is simply the only option available for a prospect that isn't ready (like the vast majority of prospects).
As an example of my point, having Granlund in the AHL last year was simply the correct (and only) option - no 'not rushing' there. However, if Granlund is in the AHL this year (likely), it could very well be argued that he is being 'not rushed' as he has demonstrated that he is now NHL-ready.
