Still, I hope bottom 6 signings like this aren’t squeezing out younger players who may have more long term upside. Shore for example.

Does Shore have more long-term upside than Derek Ryan? He is younger, sure, but has only scored a career high of 6 goals and 14 points in 77 games. Ryan has played only two full seasons in the NHL and has clipped along at a consistent 0.5 pts/gp. I seriously doubt Shore will ever get to that level at any point in his career.
