If you're going to waive Shore, now's the time to do it, when all the other teams are waiving guys too. If he makes it down, he's a nice insurance policy for injuries, with NHL experience and ability. Or he's part of a better trade package down the road.
Funny: Granlund has smarts, good defensively and a decent shot, but isn't that fast or big and is a bad faceoff man. Shore is big, decent in the dot, but not that fast and doesn't score much. Byron is super fast and OK on defence, but tiny and was snakebit last year. Jooris is fast, has a decent shot, but is not big, not good at faceoffs and not great defensively.
