This is a pretty interesting signing because of what it might mean for some of our young guys in the AHL. Shore has been a 4th liner with the Oilers for the past 3 seasons, playing about 10 minutes per game and scoring about 10 points per season.

Shore is probably going to battle Kartye for an NHL roster spot in camp unless the plan is for him to be with the Firebirds all season.
Shore was a well liked player in the Oilers dressing room, he offers good versatility for a 4th liner. I’d expect him to play the majority of the year in Coachella or ride the pine in Seattle. And u/RyNoDaHeaux, he has some Filipino heritage.
Outside of Wright there aren’t many centre prospects ready to debut so adding depth protects them from an early call up. Let the kids develop.
