Minnesota Wild dump NHL veteran Devin Shore on the waiver wire, lasting 10-year NHL veteran- is retirement now in play?
The Minnesota Wild have placed 10-year veteran Devin Shore on waivers, according to Sportsnet's NHL insider Elliotte Friedman
It appears as though the Wild are in search of finding a more productive forward to fill in for the injured Jakub Lauko, who was acquired by the Wild from the Boston Bruins.
Comparing Devin Shore to a Chicago Blackhawk, he is ideally Pat Maroon without the fighting.
He brings a strong off-ice presence and can also tally up points in clutch moments, who may be considered a valuable player to the Blackhawks, who lack stability on all four-forward lines.
This is the seventh waiver placement of Shore's career, and his second of the season. Despite playing for six different teams in his 10-year career, Shore hasn't once been claimed off of waivers.
While teams have until 2PM Eastern Standard time on Tuesday to submit a claim, fans will impatiently await the outcome to see if Devin Shore's NHL hopes can stay alive, or if this may be it... in the AHL.
