Message   The Hockey Writers    All   Canadiens Trade Rychel to Flames for Shinkaruk   August 20, 2018

The Montreal Canadiens have traded left-winger Kerby Rychel to the Calgary
Flames in exchange for fellow left-winger Hunter Shinkaruk, the Canadiens
announced Monday. This deal is a minor one that will see Shinkaruk and Rychel
sent to their third and fourth NHL teams respectively since being drafted in
2013.

This deal will likely serve as a fresh opportunity for both Rychel and
Shinkaruk who, despite being selected 19th and 24th in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft
 respectively, have both failed to catch on as full-time NHL players.

In Rychel, the Flames are getting a 6-foot-1, 207-pound left winger who spent
the majority of the 2017-18 season in the AHL, split between the Toronto
Marlies and Laval Rocket. Part of the deal that saw Tomas Plekanec traded from
Montreal to Toronto (before ultimately re-signing in Montreal in the
offseason), Rychel scored 18 goals and 42 points in 71 games in the AHL last
season and even managed to score one goal and two points in four games with the
 Canadiens in the NHL.Kerby Rychel and Jimmy Howard (John E. Sokolowski-USA

Originally drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2013, expectations were high
 for Rychel who had proven to be a star scorer in his time in the AHL, scoring
41 goals and 74 points in 68 in 2011-12, 40 goals and 87 points in 68 games in
2012-13, both with the Windsor Spitfires, and then another 34 goals and 90
points in 58 games in his final OHL season, split between Windsor and the
Guelph Storm. He also added an additional 11 goals and 32 points in 20
postseason games with Guelph that season.

Unfortunately, things haven';t yet clicked for Rychel and though he';s turning
24 in October, he';s only played in 41 games, scoring three goals and 14 points
 in that time.Shinkaruk Experiencing Similar Career Path

Shinkaruk';s trajectory has been quite similar to Rychel as he had a breakout
season in 2011-12 with Medicine Hat in the WHL, scoring 49 goals and 91 points
in 66 games followed by an impressive 37 goals and 86 points in 64 games in his
 draft year. He would only score five goals and 16 points in 18 games in his
final season in the WHL but found success early with the Utica Comets in the
AHL as a member of the Canucks'; organization.Hunter Shinkaruk as a member of

Scoring 16 goals and 31 points in 74 points in his professional debut season,
Shinkaruk picked up the pace in his second season scoring 21 goals and 39
points in only 45 games the following year. Despite the early success,
Shinkaruk';s production has fallen off in recent seasons and he';s only played
in 15 NHL games, one with the Canucks, 14 with the Flames, scoring two goals
and four points in those opportunities.

This isn';t the first time being traded for either Rychel or Shinkaruk and
while a change of scenery has yet to propel them to the next level as of yet,
there';s still hope that they can become serviceable NHL players given their
proven ability to produce at lower levels. It';s unlikely that either player
will become what teams and scouts expected them to be coming out of the 2013
Draft but the NHL is still within reach for both players.
