Shore has no shots and one minor penalty in two games with the Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
It looks like coach Mike Babcock will be rotating Shore and Jason Spezza on the fourth line, and both will get limited ice time. Shore will likely help in PK situations, but won't be valuable in the fantasy arena.

Shore secured a one-year, $750,000 deal with Toronto on Monday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shore spent the 2018-19 campaign in the KHL with Magnitogorsk, in which he tallied three goals, 13 helpers and 21 PIM in 37 appearances. While the 26-year-old should be able to land a spot on the 23-man roster, minutes may be hard to come by outside of the penalty kill, which gives him mid-range fantasy value, at best.

Shore signed a contract with Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL on Friday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shore played for three NHL teams last season -- Los Angeles, Ottawa and Calgary -- totaling five goals and 19 points over 64 games. He was not tendered a qualifying offer with the Flames, so he hit the open market in June. Shore is only 26 years old, so there's still plenty of time for him to revive his career overseas and potentially return to the NHL someday.

Shore was not given a qualifying offer and is set to become a free agent, Kristen Anderson of Postmedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shore had a pretty hectic 2017-18 campaign, registering five goals and 19 points in 64 games with three different NHL clubs. The 25-year-old is a solid bottom-six center and should fill that role once again regardless of what team signs him this offseason.

Shore played 64 regular season games -- 49 with Los Angeles, six with Ottawa and nine with Calgary -- totaling five goals and 19 points.
EDGE Analysis
Shore wasn't very effective anywhere, but suiting up for three different NHL teams in one season can get hectic. Still, the 19 points was a career best for the Colorado native. Assuming the 25-year-old can settle in to a spot with Calgary, he could start producing at a decent clip for a bottom-six winger.

Shore skated for 12:40 in his return from an illness Tuesday night in a 1-0 home win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Shore didn't mark the scoresheet and lost four faceoffs on six attempts, but perhaps he was just a bit rusty after missing the previous four games. Either way, fantasy owners shouldn't be focusing too heavily on a bottom-six role player who has been associated with three different NHL teams this season alone -- Shore was also with the Kings and Senators before Ottawa traded him to the Flames for a 2019 seventh-round pick in late February.

Shore (illness) will play against the Rangers on Friday, Aaron Vickers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shore has missed the last two games due to travel issues and this illness, but he's ready to make his Flames debut. The 25-year-old forward had four goals and 15 points with the Kings and one assist with the Senators earlier this season. He's set to slot onto the Flames' fourth line Friday, so he isn't expected for immediate fantasy contributions.

Shore (illness) isn't expected to play in Friday's game against the Rangers, Roger Millions of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shore's return to the ice for the Flames has been delayed by both travel issues an illness, putting him in line to miss his third straight game since the Flames acquired him prior to the trade deadline Monday. He's posted an underwhelming 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) over 55 games between the Kings and Senators so far in 2017-18, but the Flames hope a change of scenery will spark a fire under the 25-year-old winger. If he misses the contest as expected, Shore stands a good chance of debuting for the Flames Monday against the Penguins.

Shore is under the weather and is considered doubtful against the Avalanche on Wednesday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appears Shore's debut with the Flames will have to wait. The natural center needs just one point to match his career high of 17 from the 2016-17 campaign. Once healthy, the winger will likely knock Curtis Lazar or Troy Brouwer out of the lineup, but could also find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Shore has yet to join his new club, which puts his availability against the Stars on Tuesday into questions, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shore -- who was acquired Monday via trade -- probably won't be rushed into action, so fantasy owners may want to anticipate him making his Flames debut versus Colorado on Wednesday -- although no official announcement has come from the team. Even once he arrives, the Denver native could struggle for a consistent role, given he tallied a mere 16 points in 55 outings with the Kings and Senators.
