Player Discussion Andrew Shaw II - Playoff Edition

[NotProkofievian]

I don't know, the way I remember it, it was at least a 50-50 split on the day it happened. Proportions probably got worse after the contract was announced.

Part of the reason I hated this trade as much as I did is that Bergevin didn't even wait to see what was available at his 2nd round picks before making the trade. Therefore, Timmins must have had very little say in it. What if a guy ranked on Timmins' top 10 is still available in the 2nd round? Do you still make the trade?

The contract is irrelevant, IMO. It's front loaded and can be dealt with as almost all bloated contracts are. He's overpayed by a mill or 1.5 and will continue to be until he drops off a cliff and gets buried somewhere.

I agree, there was no reason to make the trade at that time. As it turned out, a lot of talent fell through the first round. Jean Béliveau trophy winner, ppg defensemen, ppg Allsvenskan players, 60 goal scorers. Huge missed opportunity.

 

[Deluded Puck]

So it was the fact he got to piggyback off some of the Hawks elite talent.

4 goals in 6 playoff games bro! Can't teach that kind of clutchness.

Timmins hasn't been doing so hot with prospects since 2010. Chuck, Gally, Lehkonen, that's all he has to show so far.

Chicago took Alex DeBrincat and Chad Krys with those picks. Don't know much about Krys, but DeBrincat is a small right winger with a ton of skill. Janne Kuokkanen was also available, and he's been great for the Knights. Could see him in the NHL.

So Andrew Shaw got married this weekend. A twitter pic shared by a not-true number 1 Center initialed JT, shows that Shea Weber was there. Anyone know if any other Habs made it?

According to MB there's no such thing as a true number 1 center. There's just two players named Crosby and McJesus. All the rest are interchangeable scrubs.

 

[JuicyHam]

Danault?

Shaw is a tiny man

 

[Hackett]

It was obviously a disappointing playoff from Shaw. That's when I was expecting the best out of him.

I feel as though his game dropped off after suffering that concussion against Boston.

Carcillo isnt much bigger.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Shaw is a tiny man

Yeah, he's about as big as his positive impact on the ice.

 

[OldCraig71]

His nickname should be smallzie.

It's Shawful.

 

[PhysicX]

It's Shawful.

And it will stay Shawful until he becomes useful in the playoffs.

And it will stay Shawful until he becomes useful in the playoffs.

Let's start with him being 4 millions for 6 years useful in the regular season.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Shaw's not particularly small - he's 5'10 is he not? - he's just standing with NHL players, who are often taller than 5'10.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Guys, Shaw's overpaid, not awful.

Did you overlook Sergachev, who brought in Drouin? I'm pleased he drafted Juulsen. There are others who haven't yet had the opportunity to prove themselves, including Ikonen, Mete, Bitten, and Poehling. Scherbak and McCarron aren't hopeless cases.

Love Shawzy...he's a beauty

Never been a fan of signing 4th liners to ridiculous contracts

When he was signed the argument was he was an elite third liner who could play top six when needed.

Now there's no way he plays on the third line unless 20 goals Byron or newly signed vet Hemsky plays the fourth.

Even if Shaw ends up playing on the 4th line this doesn't mean he's a 4th liner.

Man he is not 5'10, he is probably 5'7 max.
