Been something of a rough summer for Drew, so he should let these naysayers stoke a biger fire in his belly to prove them wrong.

All I ask of any player in a Pioneer uniform is to give your best effort on and off the ice, in the classroom and represent the University well.

It will be interesting to see where Shore gets slotted in the lineup. You could make a case for him anywhere between the first & fourth lines.

DU does appear to be overloaded with high quality centers. Ruegs, Big Joe & Martin.

So does this confirm that Shore is overrated?

Well, comments aside, their '7.5 / second line NHL' grade is none-too-shabby.

Oh yeah, I forgot: the prevailing wisdom among DUh fans is that HF doesn't know what they are talking about.

I don't have a problem with what HF wrote. Shore was once thought of as a top 20 pick and ended up being selected in the middle of the second round. Teams must have had a reason. Besides a good first year at DU would help to erase doubts about his play.
