Must be awkward for his dad as he works for the Flames

Do they not get along or something?

he's talking about Knight, not Shore

 

[Lunatik]

Apparently Shore and Colborne were teammates in college

Ah, that makes sense then.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Yes; at University of Denver

 

[Skobel24]

Yes; at University of Denver

Any idea if they were on a line together?

 

[Lunatik]

Yes; at University of Denver

I realize this. Thank you. Shore was also teammates with Beau Bennett and Scott Mayfield.

I know nothong about Shore. How is he compared to Reinhart? Granlund?

On par or slightly better than Granlund probably.

Your use of "apparently" required me to specify, just in case.

After a forensic analysis of Google image search, it doesn't appear to be so.

 

[MonahanTheMan]

While this is largely lateral movement in how the players compare to one another skill-wise, I do like the fact that Shore can play right wing.

 

[Lunatik]

most lines do not have 2 centremen

It's been stated that Florida rarely used him on the RW and in the AHL and in college he was a centre, him being able to play RW is largely unknown.

Definitely an upgrade for you guys, at least for the foreseeable future, no doubt. Shore never played wing, I don't think. If he did, we'd probably still have him right now because we're very shallow on the wings. Honestly not sure why we didn't try him on the wing, but oh well

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Good grab with Shore!
He'll be excellent on the 4th line, and he has a lot of upside. Congrats!

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I wonder what the plan is for him though?

 

[Lunatik]

Not sure, but he is still not listed on the AHL transaction page as being added to the ADK Flames roster. However they have added his name and number to the stats page. So....... who the **** knows.

Could be a case of them just seeing a player available that they wanted and pulling the trigger. They might not have a definite 'strategy' of where they want him to play the rest of the season, yet.

well the roster spot is open with the demotion of McGrattan. So we are free to call anyone up, but Calgary does not play until Thursday and Adirondack not until Saturday; so there is lots of time to think on the decision. We just will have to wait for reports of him practicing with the team.

I'm pretty excited about this move. I know a lot of people have been ****ing on Treliving for his offseason signings, but he was addressing the size issue with Engelland and Bollig, and trying to replace some Cammy scoring with Raymond (who would have thought Gaudreau would be this good at this time and do better than what Cammy would have done). Also, if we have a GM that can trade this well and run away with it, I'm going to be excited with future moves by him.

Good points. Its worth considering that once we bring him up, he can't really be sent back down, after playing a game.

I do think at some point this season he is going to be called up. However, I think this is a move that will precede a veteran being moved around the deadline, after which Shore will be called up. That is my guess anyway.

I agree. I think either:

1) Nobody is moved at the TD, and shore plays top 6 in Adirondack

2) If a veteran/player injury, Shore will get the call up for the rest of the year.

Does he have higher upside than Granlund?

I honestly haven't ever seen him play or know that much about him. From what I have been told though, yes he does.

Well that's very exciting if he is, because I think it's safe to say we are all pretty high on Granlund.
