Timashov actually has 53 hits in 20. He's trying to earn his ice time the old fashioned way. Engvall, Gauthier, Moore and Spezza are all grittier and better at hockey and they're his competition. The only one who he is grittier than is Petan and Petan has already been waived twice.
Precisely. Chevy does. Chevy is a good evaluator of talent and knows how to build a team. Shore is a bottom 3 player. Zero risk. I’ve watched him this year. Under a style more beneficial to his, he is like a found wallet. Zero expectations so its a zero risk move. He will add grit and typical 4th line energy to the jets at no cost other than a paper claim. If he doesnt work out, jets can let him go. So to me its a good move by chevy.
The Jets have four forwards out with injuries atm and the depth is not what it used to be, so the 4th line is quite ineffective and not trusted.
In what world is Nick Shore gritty? Lol I don't think losing him is going to make the team worse in any way. He was probably the most unnoticeable player to play for the Leafs in the past 10 years. I'd be surprised if he had 10 hits in his 20 something games.
For the Leafs that means he was pretty much Big Buff, Reaves and Wilson all in one player. Any other team he is less than average physical player.
Or maybe a word that rhymes with gritty?Nick Shore is gritty?
Let's face it, Dinah Shore would add grit to the Leafs.....
I hope he works out in the peg, Shore is a bottom 3 player. Zero risk. I’ve watched him this year. Under a style more beneficial to his, he is like a found wallet. Zero expectations so its a zero risk move. He will add grit and typical 4th line energy to the jets at no cost other than a paper claim. If he doesnt work out, jets can let him go. This is exactly what the Leafs did. Now they let him go. They even had a waiver exempt player they could have demoted if demotion was a necessity.
