Be very interesting if Shinkaruk beats out 1) Vey, 2) Jankowski 3) Hathaway 4) Bollig for a roster spot.
Vey was pretty much even in the LA prospect trio of Toffoli and Pearson before his family disaster took place in 2013. If he is able to put that mess behind him he was a better prospect/player than Shinkaruk is now.
If Jankowski gets off to a good start I could see Stajan bumped up to the wing and Jankowski getting his NHL feet wet with 4th line centre minutes.

I would actually agree with you about Vey he is a wildcard and could surprise some people but not about Janko - He needs to play alot this year and could really benefit from 1st/2nd line minutes in Stockton. We will definitely see him in a few call ups and maybe stick this year but he needs to play more than 10-12 minutes a night to start the year. If he sticks out of camp it will be in a top 9 role which means he would need to play on the wing. Who knows though.
