4-0 now lol
sad part is, how will shink make the team? he'd have to continue dominating to convince benning to make space for the kid by trade =/
I can't see him making it this year. He's fun to watch in the o-zone but his overall game isn't ready.
If he does somehow make it, he'll push Burrows down to 3RW and Hansen to 4RW. Either they move Dorsett to 4LW or they make a trade.
I see Horvat or Gaunce having a much better chance because they can play 4LW if need be; they are strong defensively and physically mature.
All that said, it's probably best for all our prospects to get more ice-time in their respective lower leagues. Horvat can work on his skating and offense in junior and Shinkaruk and Gaunce can get some pro experience in the AHL (Shinkaruk needs to develop physically as well). Not like we're contending anyway.
The AHL guys can be called up the NHL at any time. Horvat will be the only tough decision because he can get his 9-game NHL tryout then he either sticks with the big club or it's junior until next season.
