FlamesNation player evaluation: Nick Shore
Teetering on the edge of a playoff spot in late February, the Flames weren’t exactly in a position to do much of anything. It would take major balls to sell at that point, with so much of the season left to play and no first round pick. At the same time, buying wasn’t an option, either: they weren’t exactly gearing up to contend, and they had very little in the way of currency to spend.
So the team made one move: they traded a seventh round pick for Nick Shore. And though it was one of the smallest moves possible, it may end up paying dividends in the near future.
