Fair enough.
Clearly the league has seen enough of Shore though. If you can't crack the forward group of the 2015-16 Flames as a 25 year old, it's probably not going to happen for you.
Vey can score in the AHL. That has value. Shore is a 30 point AHL forward. Vey is a 40 point NHL forward.
At the NHL level, Vey is twice as productive as Shore. They're both 25. I'd probably say both are below replacement level players.
