I'm in the boat with the people who don't think he will ever be a truly impactful player in the NHL. Not good enough for top 6 and isn't really an ideal bottom 6 either. Him like Baertschi I see having so so seasons until they kind of fade out of the NHL. I just don't see either becoming what you'd hope out of a top 6 or bottom 6 on a contender. I'm a bit skeptical on Shinkaruk in that top 6 role as well but I think his end to last season showed he has more potential than either of those two so I'm excited to see what he can do next year.
