The tone of Rosen's blog seeks to justify Shore, which leads me to believe he's here to stay regardless.
"Nick Shore, whose contributions beyond the scoresheet can’t always be discerned during real-time, upstairs observation, doubled his point total and continued to serve as the among the Kings’ most effective forwards at denying opportunities. His 19.2 shots against per 60 minutes is the best shot suppression rate amongst all Kings forwards, and it’s because of his unsustainable 89.7 PDO that the team has scored only 0.87 G/60 while he’s on the ice (and why Shore himself has a minus-seven rating). His work along the boards and in battle-areas has been impressive and has been upheld ever since his standout game in St. Louis, and it’s only a matter of time before some of his secondary numbers float back towards the mean, given his covertly raised play."
