Even before Shinkaruk's injury though, his stats in junior were already regressing. I know stats don't tell the entire story, but that is concerning. Add in the fact he is an undersized left-winger and that makes me even happier the Flames took Poirier. Shinkaruk probably is still going to end up being a good player, but Poirier looks like he'll be the more important player long-term.
