I'm just going off of small sample sizes of what I've seen when guys have been called up. But Shinkaruk has been 'meh', Poirier hasn't shown much of anything offensively. And I'm not talking about the points they put up, I'm just going with my eyeball test.
Haven't seen enough of Janko yet to comment. Do we have any elite offensive prospects down there? Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that a bunch of 3rd/4th line prospects aren't lighting the world on fire.

Shinkaruk was great elsewhere in the AHL (39 points in 45 games under a different coach), Poirier had 19 goals in his rookie year under a different coach, even the vets on AHL contracts were better elsewhere.
