Proposal: Shaw back to Chicago

[Kudo Shinichi]

we will need that cap when we go superstar hunting...

8 million is more than enough to trade for a star player

forget about a trade. We need like 10.5M+ for Tavares as there's great chances he makes free agency and yoo can count the habs as favorites to land him. Its a perfect match with available cap. But, That cap wont be around for too long once and, if, hopefully, Tavares is signed. They would then have to extend Pacs, Chucky, Lehks, and so on, in the more immediate future, 1 to 2 years (from that point on).
Thats where freeing up to 3.9M per year would be massive.

 

[Howie Hodge]

A trade that really doesn't benefit either team.

Why would they even consider it?

The question might be what does Chicago have on their roster the equivalent value of Shaw, because it's not a viable trade.

 

[koyvoo]

Nope

Plekanec's contract will do the work.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Hard pass. You don't pay third liners that much.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Shaw was terrible last season, is on an even more terrible contract and I personally don't like his face at all but there's really no reason to move him right now since he probably has negative value and we have the cap space.

Don't like his face....hmmm....seems like more of a problem on your end...

 

[HabsQC]

We would ask for what we traded him for : 2 2nds.

 

[Legend123]

Plekanec's contract will do the work.

nope that's relatively cancelled by price's raise.

hence retention.

I mean, sure. But Montreal wouldn't.

 

[Legend123]

heres some math:
Price raise = +4M
Pleks cap relief = -6M

We save 2M, we need more to extend Pacs at a likely 8x7M extension.

When we get Tavares, we could trade Shaw.
No reason to trade him right now

 

[Legend123]

Bargainbin wouldn't. I would tho. I'm sure once he gets fired, the next gm will seriously consider to trade him.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Yeah I wouldn't make a very good GM if a traded a guy away for that reason eh? Still though, I don't like him on our team although he's had his moments.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I don't think any sane GM would take that contract. Shaw is good at what he does but he's not a guy you invest term and significant salary on.

 

[TT1]

Why trade Shaw? He's been great in the pre-season, i know it's only the preseason but it's obviously still a good sign.

 

[tony d]

Doubt very much Montreal trades Shaw. Guy is a valuable player for them.

 

[HabsEstrie]

Habs fans ! He is ugly trade him, what an embarrassment.

 

[CanadiensforLife]

We need guys like Shaw on this team, adds grit and fire.

 

[EbonyRaptor]

As a Hawks fan I love what Shaw did for the Hawks and he was a big part of both the 2013 and 2015 Cup wins. But, he's not a $3.9M player. The Hawks have moved on.

To Elsewhere : The OP + a 5th rounder
To Habs fanbase : A 7th rounder.

if you don't like Shaw, 50% retained and you get him off your Hands
