I take this decision as a real positive.

This season is about developing players. Shore needs to be in the NHL to develop, therefore, regardless of the standings or some other fits on the team, it's best for him and for the Calgary Flames to have him seeing NHL practices and NHL games.

If that means Granlund gets sent down after playing well in his stint here, fine. If that means a veteran or roster regular needs to be moved shortly to accommodate shore being on the big club, fine.

I'm glad he's been called up, I think it really indicates the trajectory that management sees from this team. No more 'going for it'.
