Some Oilers fans will always complain about anything you can imagine. Pick any free agent you want, the most dream free agent a person can think of, give him a contract that has way lower money and term than anyone imagined was possible and there will be Oilers fans who will find a to pick him and the signing apart. They will find some spreadsheet or website that says in a particular situation he can't do this or that or find the one year he had an off year and project it as it's how he is now and will be forever. Just the way it is.
I don't mind Shore. I like his hustle and compete. Plays center or wing. Though he didn't play a ton of center, when he did he was almost 53% on faceoffs. Seemed decent on the PK. Making barely above league minimum. I don't see a problem with it but I know someone will tell me why he sucks and how this is the first nail in the coffin to the 21-22 season.

I don't think that's true and I don't know that it's necessary to imply that anyone that disagrees with you and doesn't like that the Oilers signed a below replacement level player to a 2-year deal is a nerd that doesn't understand how hockey really works. I also hate when the media guys do it on twitter.
I don't need a spreadsheet to tell me that Shore gets badly outscored 5x5 (yes, I'm focusing on a particular situation but it happens to be the particular situation that the majority of the game is played at). He averaged just over a minute a game on the PK and then spent the other 10 minutes getting outscored 2:1. That's not all his fault, but other than his first year in Dallas, he's never had a season where he was on the ice for more goals for than against.
Yes, they can bury his salary if necessary so this likely won't sink the team. But as others have pointed out, it doesn't make the team better in any way and better options can be found on the waiver wire or off free agency every year. The Leafs have signed Spezza 2 years in a row for $700k.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
