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.

Colborne didn't play 70 NHL games prior to joining the Flames and he's progressed immensely since game 1 in Calgary.
I'm not judging Shore only on his 11 underwhelming Flames games, but also his 70 even more underwhelming games with the Panthers. He put up abysmal numbers in Florida and they deemed his worth to be Greg Nemisz.
