2014-15 Flames report cards: Drew Shore

The performance review of former Florida Panther and occasional Calgary Flames centre Drew Shore.

January 9th, 2015 was a busy day for the Flames. They said goodbye to Brian McGrattan and Corban Knight, the former being waived for the purpose of reassignment and the latter being traded for today's subject: Drew Shore. The player-for-player swap with the Panthers brought the AHL All-Star and former second round pick to Calgary.

It wasn't a blockbuster deal, but the Flames still got away with robbery. The Panthers had their hands tied due to Shore's waiver-exempt status expiring, and sent him packing to a team that wouldn't be constantly shuffling him between leagues.
