I haven't given up on Poirier but he needs to take his play to another level this coming season or he's trending towards bust territory.

I hope/view last season as a bump in the road - but like his combination of skill and greasiness. And I think he will get the wake-up call and make a push in camp.
I'm perhaps overblowing Andersson's conditioning issues, but they are a red flag to me. So it came down to Shink or Poirier.
And part of me feels I'm under-rating guys like Pribyl, Mangiapie and the recent draftees that I know less about.
Tough choices.
My top 5 would have been:
1. Tkachuk
2. Gillies
3. Hickey
4. Janko
5. Kylington
