I like Corban Knight but I didn't feel he is going to make it in Calgary full-time unfortunately so we will probably just lose him for nothing in a few years. I never heard of Drew Shore before until tonight so I am not going to pretend that I think he is much better than Knight. Based on what I heard though, he's got more upside than Knight and he already played with Colborne before. He is big 6'3" and looks like he can skate so that is a big plus. 11th in scoring in AHL which is good too. The only bad part is when they call him up, he'll be in Calgary pretty much for good as he has to clear the waiver if they sent him down to Adirondack. For a young RH big centre, I am sure someone will gamble on him so we'll lose him for nothing. I think the Flames will make him play in Adirondack for at least 10 or more games before they consider calling him up.
