Waived: Nick Shore || Claimed by the Winnipeg Jets

[Teeder Keon]

He was brutal. I think the only game he played well was against Colorado

Maybe that shift he scored ...

 

[Menzinger]

He was the right guy to waive.

The timing is interesting, Marner must be on cusp of returning

 

[Twowingcantfly]

Wow! This Nick Shore thread produced some real insightful discussion. Good work Dudes & Dudets..

 

[Burnie97]

 

[Cor]

Oh no.

How will we ever recover.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Oh well. We have a bunch of guys ahead of him for the Leafs (Gauthier, Spezza or Petan), and the Marlies don't need him exactly either.

Honestly, the roster spot is more valuable at this point.

 

[Schenn]

So the storied Nick Shore Era comes to and end.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Winnipeg sure loves 4th line guys from us that do nothing. Lindholm and now Shore.

Shore wasn't terrible, he just didn't add anthing positive.

 

[Vitto79]

won't matter the coach is gonna play his AHL boys ahead of him anyway

 

[DarkKnight]

I will miss he and Gauthier continually turning something into nothing. That's talent.

I guess they did not have any more Petan's to give us.

 

[deletethis]

The addition of a contract slot = good.

 

[grapes55]

Having less of a logjam on the Marlies is good I guess

 

[Leafidelity]

Thank you Winnipeg

 

[34]

Thank you Winnipeg

This! Thank you Winnipeg. Lol

Didn't he play really well in the first game in Detroit? That line scored a couple of goals and made some nice plays.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

I guess they did not have any more Petan's to give us.

The Roslovic/Gauthier trade will be happening any day now!

 

[paulhiggins]

I wonder if this will free up room for a backup goalie... (Hutch + ? for ?)

 

[Walshy7]

Oh no.

How will we ever recover.

i will never forget that unreal opening night game he played it was the momentum swelled to..... well nothing at all, spezza would have done more

Just Babcock sticking it to someone just to show who is in charge

 

[sxvnert]

Now it comes down to Petan/Timashov and Goat as the 13th forwards. Petan is the next to go once Marner comes back.

 

[Mess]

Winnipeg play a big heavy physical game so Shore fits their style of play well.

 

[nuck]

They have a couple of more skilled Marlie vets for later call ups if they straighten out the cap issues. Good for him getting a look from the Jets tho.

 

[qqaz]

The addition of a contract slot = good.

Yep. It's actually better for us that he got claimed than if he had cleared. Now we have more flexibility while losing a player that had absolutely no place on the NHL or AHL rosters.

That's not to rang on the guy, as he's far from the worst player in the league. And Shore probably knew, as well as anyone, that he had no place and no purpose here. It should only be better for him, too, that he's joining Winnipeg. They at least must see some purpose for him. And I wish him well.

 

[Buds17]

He can play (more than he would have here, going forward). IMO, the Leafs have better, longer term options and the obvious limits (cap, roster) to work within.
