Shaw has to be done too at this point. A stiff breeze probably triggers another concussion for shaw at this point who has easily had 5+ now

Shame for all 3 but not surprising.

Why is Smith on LTIR? Didn’t his agent say he was good to go before the season?

Back surgery.

Back surgery.

Haha, I didn’t even realize. I hope he recovers well and can save his career.

I think he's done. From his time in Ottawa Smith was very well liked and respected. I wouldn't be surprised if he came back to Canada and was involved in hockey coaching or in a front office role.

Shaw has probably had at least 3x-4x that many concussions in his life

The fact that he is on LTIR now instead of IR like Strome is not a good sign.

I was never one to call for his retirement before, but given what he said about his last recovery and how quickly he was reinjured at this point I hope he retires.

Shaw really needs to consider his longterm health at this point and realize its not worth it to continue on

Question for the cap geniuses. In these flat cap times does the space give the Hawks the opportunity to be the middle man in trades like the Leafs in a recent Hawks-Knights Lehner trade? Take a player, eat some of his cap and send him on to his final destination in exchange for a pick?

Not claiming to be a genius, but there is a max of three contracts you can retain salary on we're using two on Saad and Maatta. Next year we have just Maatta.
