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.

I think you're letting your judgement be clouded by the fact that you've watched Colborne for two seasons. If you look at their production up to the end of their Age 24 Seasons:
Shore (2012-15) - 78GP, 9G, 14A, -16, 1085 TOI, +4.3% CorsiRelativetoTeam, 46.2 FO%, 132 shots on goal
Colborne (2011-14) - 96GP, 11G, 23A, -15, 1342 TOI, -2.5% CorsiRelativetoTeam, 46.7 FO%, 92 shots on goal
Normalized to 1200 minutes that's:
Shore - 10G, 16A, 146 Shots
Colborne - 10G, 20A, 82 Shots
If one was abysmal, the other wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire for "progressing immediately since game 1 in Calgary" (which might have something to do with not being buried on a deep team). They were practically the same calibre of player, except one is good at possession and willing to shoot the puck. And is right-handed.
