The Top 25 Under 25 is always a big series for Eyes On The Prize, and for the first time since its inception, we’ve had a player join the list while the reveal is still in progress. Acquired in a trade for Kerby Rychel on Monday, the newest member of the Montreal Canadiens organization, Hunter Shinkaruk, joins the ranks of youngest players in the system.
Shinkaruk is in a very similar spot to Rychel; both have bounced between AHL clubs with some solid, but unspectacular numbers to their names. In fact Shinkaruk was drafted just five spots after Rychel in 2013, and one ahead of Canadiens draftee Michael McCarron.
