When the Vancouver Canucks traded Cory Schneider to the New Jersey Devils at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, they drafted an NHL top prospect 9th overall that would eventually become their captain in Bo Horvat. With their own 24th overall pick though, they selected a guy who many people were extraordinarily hyped for, in the Medicine Hat Tigers' Hunter Shinkaruk, a goal scorer at heart who could make things happen every shift with his work ethic.
However, a trade to the Calgary Flames for Markus Granlund later, and a trade to the Montreal Canadiens for Kerby Rychel later, inevitably playing mostly with the Utica Comets, Stockton Heat, Laval Rocket, and eventually the Charlotte Checkers, the former 1st rounder found himself with the Kunlun Red Star in the KHL.
