Noice!

[Anglesmith]

...in exchange for Corban Knight.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

There goes our best faceoff man. Regardless, Shore is better.

 

[Anglesmith]

Lulz. Corban "I don't wanna sign with you guys" Knight back in the Florida fold.

 

[Taranis]

What the hell? Does this make sense to anyone?

 

[Skobel24]

...wasn't Knight acquired from Florida a few years ago?

 

[Anglesmith]

What the hell? Does this make sense to anyone?

Not from the Panthers' perspective.

 

[Calculon]

Seems a bit lateral. Knight as a beast on faceoffs and was having a pretty good season in Adirondack. Shore seems to have a higher offensive upside.

Knight back to Florida is pretty hilarious though.

 

[tfong]

Shore is so much better than Knight.

 

[Anglesmith]

...wasn't Knight acquired from Florida a few years ago?

Yup. He wasn't going to sign with us, so we got him for a pick.

Shore is younger than Knight and is about a PPG player in the AHL. I like this trade for us.

Arnold has probably made him somewhat redundant.

Plays RW, as per the Fan 960. So it makes sense if that's the case.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Will shore be suiting up tonight or is the in the AHL still?

 

[Taranis]

Ah that would make more sense then.

 

[tfong]

Shore basically has the same game as Colborne. really good depth playmaker.

 

[Taranis]

For those looking, Shore's stats:

and his international

[Pirate King Luffy]

Shore basically has the same game as Colborne. Could mean Stajan might be traded sometime this year.

If Shore plays Right Wing I doubt it.

 

[Calculon]

 

[Johnny GODreau]

So does he have the potential to be a top 6 winger?

 

[InfinityIggy]

I like it for the Flames. Knight back to the Panthers is kind of hilarious.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

So does he have the potential to be a top 6 winger?

I thinks so. Even playing top 9 would be great.

 

[SaintMorose]

Shoots RIGHT!!!

Can have him hold down centre on the 3rd/4th line if we are converting Colborne and Jooris to wing full-time. Or better yet might have found a 3rd line RW.
