It's interesting everyone thinks Feaster just makes these choices on his own. He had no AGM or scouting staff I guess and haven't spent a pile of time looking at all the players.
Also I notice TSN has Zykov and Hunter as LWers too. They often have players at different positions than everyone else.

You all overrate Shinkaruk immensely. He's a poor team player and rode Etems coat tails playing on the Tigers.
I think his really poor showing at the combine had more to do with it. Scary when a kid projected top half of the first round can't be in shape for that.
A speedy offensive forward, Poirier improved steadily in his draft year. He's got great hands, an accurate shot and can make plays at top speed, leading to him often taking defenders by surprise. He plays with plenty of confidence in his abilities and seems to have a knack for creating offensive chances where none appear to exist. Needs to continue to round out his game, especially improving his play without the puck. Continuing to get stronger and adding a physical element to his game would also help tremendously.
