Despite Calgary's adds to shore up depth this season, I was still hoping they'd re-sign him but I guess they feel a rookie is ready whether it's Mangiapane or Dube.

 

[CapnZin]

He seems like an ok B6 player on the right deal. Can PK and maybe chip in offensively.

I can see the flyers being interested if they feel that Vorobyev, Frost, Vecchione cannot fill that 3C. Stil... even if the sign him, Hakstol will still probably roll Couts-Patrick-Lehtera-Laughton

 

[BatVader]

Probably going to sign with the Habs.
They need wingers

New Jersey Shore Devils

I hope he's being scarcastic when he says Toronto needs center depth

Maybe a 4th line centre, which is what Shore is.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Not physical, not fast, okay defensively, stone hands, so-so on faceoffs, very boring.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Are you shore?

he is vanilla but he doesn't get noticed in a bad way either. Definitely should be in the NHL

 

[Devilsrock17]

Devils have to be on this

I'd rather have a rookie in the line-up over him.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

He'd be a great replacement for John Tavares on the Islanders.

This.



Worst you can say about shore is that he's boring, low-event. Soft too, I guess. All brains, average physical tools. He's a good bottom sixer and him eating rough minutes is part of the reason Kempe was able to be free to excel.

Sounds like a less physical Brendan Gaunce with better skating.

I actually really like Shore as a third or fourth line center.

He was fine in Calgary, not sure why they didn’t keep him for depth. Not like his contract was going to kill.

Not sure why he was a healthy scratch for them so often after acquisition.

 

[StoneHands]

I could see the Flyers in on this and let him and Laughton battle it out for the 3C spot.

 

[DJJones]

If we wouldn't have signed Ryan I would have been confident in him being our 4C.

was thinking flyers as well

I honestly think it had to do with Gulutzan's system. Like, they acquired him, and he sat out like 5 games after being required or something.
Gully's system, especially for centremen was really difficult for some reason. The only two centres he trusted for tough matchups were Backs and the Ragin' Stajan.

I'm Shore he'd be a good depth guy for a lot of teams in the NHL. Wonder what team will get him.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Leafs should be all over this.

 

[Wolfpuck]

With Rask out for God knows how long, why not?
