Almost every team has a player like Shinkaruk that the fans worry will get claimed off waivers in October, and they almost never get claimed.
The thing to always remember with waiver claims is that a player who is claimed off waivers must be kept in the NHL or put back on waivers (where he can be reclaimed by his original team) before being sent to the AHL.
If Shinkaruk doesn't show enough in the preseason to warrant making the Flames, it will likely mean that he didn't show enough for another team to make a claim on him.
I'd be more concerned about Kulak and/or Wotherspoon (if they're both still with the Flames) getting claimed off waivers than Shinkaruk.
