The timing stinks for retaining Shaw due to the Bickell contract..the overpayment for Kruger who is at best a 4th line C and pk guy and if that is $3 million for a guy who cannot even score a goal in about half a season of work and 7 playoff games then I cannot figure out this league anymore ...he did not have good+/-either...there are cheaper pk guys we could get instead. .. also bad timing becsuse of the Panarin bonus counting for next season ....and finally bad timong because of the Hossa albatross contract now maifesting as he provides less production value now at his age ...too bad ...might have kept Shaw if it had been 2017/18 and maybe dump Hossa off in expansion draft..Shaw had 14g and 20assists which is for starters a market value of $3.4 million but add in his strong playoff a 4G and 2a in just 6gp and his grit greasy goals factor and he is certainly worth a $4 million/yr ticket to some team that can afford it..We cannot ...so the issue is not can we keep Shaw. ..doubt it...but what can Shaw bring in a trade?
Of Stan is as desperate to make a bad a deal as in the Sharp+Johns deal ...a deal for garbage plus helping a division rival ...then will will get fleeced again..But at least we are not over a barrel in having to dump a known cap number...This will be a hockey trade for tge value Shaw brings and the signing team Getting
him will worry about what to pay him or we will get an offer sheet for him which should be a $4 million range ...To head that off (unless there are at least 2 offer sheets and the bidding drives prices up)the team most wanting him would probably just make a deal rather than face another bidder on the offer sheet...if one then comes in higher than they would pay they will get the benefit of higher compensation in better picks due to higher bid.
So I ask. .what will Shaw bring in a true value trade not a phoney over tge barrel trade like in the Sharp case?
My own view is a late first and a 4th or an early 2nd and a 3rd rounder.
