Drew Shore may spell the end of Paul Byron. Shore plays in that same strata as Byron and the Flames are not going to risk losing a player to waivers they just acquired. The next best option, if they can't work a trade out to move out one of the 4th liners or under-performing 3rd liners, is to waive Byron. The risk and impact of losing him is pretty small, if you'll pardon the pun.
