Kind of funny, but I remember a few years ago there was a player who was consensus top 100 ("there is no list!") and didn't even end up getting drafted. I think he ended up getting a PTO. Though I guess if Shinkaruk falls to the 6th round, then hell why not.
I don't think Gaudreau and Kane would look good together. They both play pretty much the same game and want the puck on their stick.
Much like when the Canucks had Bure and Mogilny on the team. I forget which coach (they ran through a lot of them) tried them on the first line, then broke them up. After the experiment failed, the coach said ruefully: 'What's the point of putting those two together? There's only one puck.'

I don't know about you guys, but I'd love to see a Gaudreau-Byron-Poirier line. Three great two-way guys that can absolutely burn defenders with their speed would be a major handful for most teams.

No disrespect to Byron, but we have better options. Especially for legit top line talent like Gaudreau and Poirier.

That would be a fun line to watch.
Backlund - Poirier on the PK would also be dangerous. Poirier had more SH goals (8, IIRC) than PP goals last season. Backlund had 4 SHG last season.
