He has decent puck possession, but I really don't see him doing much on the ice.

I think he's overrated by some on these boards if anything (these trade proposals kind of prove that). I'm all for being a homer, but this guy doesn't deserve much love for what he's done in a Flames uniform.
Yes, I think he will be more than a fringe NHL player. At this moment, he might be only a fringe NHLer, but clearly his value needs to be determined on more than his first 11 games.
Very much in the same boat as Colborne a couple of years ago. You think Toronto regrets dumping him for a 4th? Maybe Shore doesn't pan out in the end, but he does have value.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
