We're now into the players that are essentially unknowns - my voting criteria is now simply players I find most intriguing.
In the last two years, Poirier has never impressed me at the NHL level. For a guy who's skating is supposedly his biggest asset, the scouts were right at the draft - it's really wonky. Apparently he's an agitator. I'll believe it when I see it.
Shinkaruk hasn't looked all that impactful in his time either - he scored a goal in Anaheim when it was 5-0 in a game where Johnny wasn't playing. He has another secondary assist. The Granlund trade is still excellent value, but I don't watch Shinkaruk and see an impact NHL player at this point.
Most intriguing guy in the system at this point would be E2.
