This is from the 23rd? Why make a thread about it now?!?

Couldn’t find one for Shaw. Was listening to the Madhouse podcast and they made it sound really serious.

 

[Mrfenn92]

No reason for him to come back this season. Scary crap involving head injuries and it's not his first one.

 

[featherhawk]

@ColdSteel2 he has had several so this is not surprising that it is lengthy. You just have to wonder why some of these players with multiple concussions keep coming back. I mean money is not everything and unless your a guy that is on an ELC you should have your family set for life financially after you signed your first contract post ELC

life is short, you only get one brain

This was just casually tossed in Laz’ mailbag article yesterday:

“And it’s looking increasingly doubtful that Andrew Shaw returns from his latest concussion any time soon (there’s some growing concern within the organization that it could be season-ending)”

I guess that's news, but I thought it was basically a foregone conclusion.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Just get healthy shaw. Dont care about him playing this season or going forward. Future life is more important.

I didn’t realize people thought he was done for the year

 

[Styles]

Another feather in Stanley’s cap.

 

[Pez68]

Another LTIRetirement coming up.

 

[x Tame Impala]

For those unsure, Shaw still has 2 more seasons AFTER this one with a $3.9m AAV.

The Hawks now have what, like $20m in LTIR dead cap right now????

 

[RememberTheRoar]

And here I was thinking I was crazy for missing the news that Shaw was out for the year...

The team has not said out for the year.

might as well fire up the one last shift for Hossa, Seabs and Shaw. That would really set off the mainboard to see Hossa and Seabs take one last shift in LTIRetirement

Congrats to the Shaw family!

 

[hawksrule]

Babies can be really weird looking.

Babies can be really weird looking.

So can Andrew Shaw.

I mean Congrats!!

 

[Brightwing]

Too cute. The pic with their daughter is too funny, she's got an 'I don't like this baby stuff' look on her face.

 

[bwana63]

Shaw should be in good shape financially, so he'd better be pretty damn sure he's out of the danger zone before he plays again. Which is pretty much impossible, right? Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he LTIR retires.

His playing style doesn't suit well for not sustaining potential future head injuries.
So it will be interesting how he proceeds. Hopefully he takes his damn time.

 

[Rick C137]

I’m honestly thrilled to hear how serious Shaw takes head injuries

 

[HLLYWD99]

I truly thought that Shawzie would be our saviour when we traded for him in July.
A lifetime of health is more important.

 

[tgh]

He's such an impact player, but injuries especially the head can't be taken lightly.

 

[Brightwing]

Man if you read the Athletic article it makes it sound even worse for Shaw. Gallagher is talking like he may never return.

Not to go all tin foil hatty, but do you think Bergevin knew Shaw was basically one hit away from his career being over?
