Hunter Shinkaruk does not play on the top line at this point in his career or get any PP time at all on any NHL team that is trying to win.
Maybe be they were not as obvious as the Canucks or Oilers but 9 pts in the last 10 games says otherwise.

There's a big difference between tanking and rewarding some prospects with an NHL game at the end of the season. Big difference. If they were full on tanking Hiller would've started the last handful of games and guys like Gio, Brodie, Mony & Johnny would've come down with a mystery illness. Hell, Johnny missed a game not that long ago, could've been a perfect excuse that he re-aggravated something. I also believe our upper management team would despise the notion of tanking. Don't try and create something that wasn't there.
