Shore in his four seasons has had CF% of 53%, 61%, 54% and this year 53% in LA, 56% in Ottawa and 58% in Calgary.

His high danger numbers are also in the black.

Oh and the eye test matches too!
Ok so the Carolina Hurricanes have the best CF% in the NHL this year. The Calgary Flames are 3rd. The Capitals are 24th. Corsi means nothing.
