Or he just doesn’t have NHL tools...Everytime he is about to get a shot he gets injured and is ****ed. Similar to Kerdiles except he is better.

Yeah I find it hilarious that people here act like his money is an issue when guys like Roussel get 3 million in UFAI like this guy for how much he makes, he can play ant situation, good defensively, not afraid to go to blue paint and he has some offensive skills, he has capability to go coast to coast and has a couple times and to bring the puck from behind the net to in front. Hope we keep him around he's a good piece. He can also play on any line at any position.
Who could take his place as #2C and PK, PP minutesThe issue is he’s a replacement level player who while not overpaid, his role could be replaced by a few of our prospects on ELCs.
With Perry and Kesler being unmovable Shore being moved is a way to free up $1.4M in cap space (the difference between him and someone on their ELC.
Ty, smh. What more do you want from a guy at his low salary? Not to mention he’s an rfa who BM will find a way to underpay him even more. He also seems to stick up for teammates and actually enjoys being on the iceI like this guy for how much he makes, he can play ant situation, good defensively, not afraid to go to blue paint and he has some offensive skills, he has capability to go coast to coast and has a couple times and to bring the puck from behind the net to in front.

There’s nothing “replacement level” about Shore. I don’t get why people say stuff like thisThe issue is he’s a replacement level player who while not overpaid, his role could be replaced by a few of our prospects on ELCs.

Silf Shore Rakell has been our best line every night so technically is he #1C rn?Well he’s not really a 2C is he? He’s on pace for 28 points and has spent most of the year at wing. He’s underwhelming on the dot also.
On the PP we have loads of forwards as good or better offensively who aren’t getting monitors (Sprong for one). On the PK again we have loads of options. Henrique, Silf, Ritchie, Getzlaf, Grant, Rowney are all better PKers.

Hell Shore isn’t even what I would call a legitimate centre, he’s only been playing there the last handful of games and can’t win draws to save himself.
Uh not in my world, teams are playing their best lines and pairing against that line and they are holding their own including shoreMaybe in your world but not in reality where he is miles behind Getz and Henrique in terms of ability, production and skill. That’s like saying Anisimov was the 1C for Chicago back when he was the centre for Panarin and Kane. Hell Shore isn’t even what I would call a legitimate centre, he’s only been playing there the last handful of games and can’t win draws to save himself.
Shore is a middle six forward down the road that works well with Silfverberg and Rakell. You can give up on Steel as well in terms of what you demand from a player. Skill wise he is no typical 1st liner but that's ok. He is a good player. And when Grant has a place on this team Shore should have all the time. On the other hand Cogs has 3 points in 20 games, pace on 12 points over a season. And Shore is young enough to improve.

We played almost all those games at home..... We had first change.... So what's your point ?Wrong.
Against the Preds the Forseberg/CryJo line played 7 minutes against Getzlaf and 2 against Shore.
Against the Kings Kopitar played 5 mins against Getzlaf and 4 against Shore.
Against the Habs Domi played 4 minutes against Henrique, 2 against Getz and 2 against Shore.
Against the Blues and Yotes Shore didn’t play. And he only played 5 minutes against the Avs, 30 seconds of which were against MacKinnon so he wasn’t getting the top line matchup there either.
I can keep going back further if you like...

Silf shore rakell has been our steadiest line overall.
AgreedThere’s nothing “replacement level” about Shore. I don’t get why people say stuff like this
You have completely missed my point and have gone into defense mode like you always seem to do when it comes to any sort of criticism of a Murray acquisition.
Why don’t you read my original post and argue with that instead of getting all defensive and bringing Steel and Cogs into the argument when neither is relevant.
The issue is he’s a replacement level player who while not overpaid, his role could be replaced by a few of our prospects on ELCs.

He’s being carried by having our best winger currently on his line and even then isn’t producing much.
You talk about Shore being a replacement player who should be replaced by an ELC player to free up money and at the same time Steel is not relevant? Beside Steel and Lundeström who else do you want to play between Rakell and Silfverberg? Even if Steel breaks in Shore can easily be used on wing. I just don't understand why good players for lower lines get so much turndown.
And I mentiond Steel and Cogs because the first one is the only player on an ELC that could play right now on his place and Cogs since he was traded for him. And when it comes down to replacement, almost every player on the bottom 6 could be replaced by an ELC player then.
Silf has been scoring but shore has been carrying the puck in as well as rakell. Shore has been cycling well with them you act like silf is a driver or has ever been a driver of a line. He works well off cycle which is why he's been with kesler and cogs for so long he's far from a driver. Did shore sleep with your girlfriend or something? Give the guy some credit he's centering our best line, killing penalties and going against tough competition.
I’m saying given we are a team right up against the cap if we need to make room we could shed $1.4M by replacing Shore with an ELC player without a huge downgrade. Yeah Steel would be an option. Hell Derek Grant is likely going to sign for $7-800k again next season and I don’t think he’s a huge downgrade for next season either.
