Value of: Does Andrew Shaw have any value?

[bryan1966]

I just wanted to see if Andrew Shaw had any value?

Can play center or wing, plays tough, takes dumb penalties, has concussion issues etc etc etc...

What is your best offer?

negative value at this point.

 

[HOPE]

before his concussion there was rumeur carolina was interrested...

he would need to get back healthy and play decent hockey to gain value again.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Negative value I'm afraid. Loved him as a player and like him as an individual, but his health issues are way too big of an issue, especially when taking into account that his cap hit is more than what he's worth when healthy.

 

[StickShift]

I could see him being flipped for another bad contract. Trade a problem for a problem.

For example, Vancouver could use some more toughness and agitation in their bottom-six. Maybe a swap for Loui Eriksson?

 

[olli]

no.

 

[koyvoo]

What?

In hockey?

Nope.

 

[Hmmm]

0.0

Right this moment he doesn't have any value. High salary and recent injuries doesn't make him appealing for the rest of the league. Generally you prefer your bottom 6 to give you as little cap problems as possible.

However tables could turn. Cap goes up to 80M and his contract starts to look almost fair for what he brings if he's healthy. Say, he has a good season up until the TDL, i think Montreal could get something of value back. Experience is always valued and he has 2 cup rings, is easy to move around the lineup and can provide that ~30 pts.

So best thing Montreal can do right now is to hold on to him and let him play, they're in no rush to move him, who knows maybe someone is really interested in him couple years from now. All you hope is he plays as well as possible.

Bobby Ryan? Would provide Ottawa cap/cash savings.

Might get a 5th or 6th rounder at this point.

I would say he's either a guy you pay to get rid of or maybe you can swap him for an equally ugly contract like Lucic.

I don't see why they'd pay the cost of getting rid of him right now unless their dreams come true and they sign Tavares and want to re-sign Pacioretty to make Johnny T happy.

canucks accept.

Enjoy.

Status:

Canadiens' Andrew Shaw has left knee surgery, faces six-month recovery - Sportsnet.ca

Concussion issue resolved.

 

[Spirit of 67]

At this point I would say that he needs to get back playing and rebuild it. Even if he doesn't have negative value, he's very much in a buy low time.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't believe in negative value, not after I saw Jonas Enroth get moved for a draft pick.

That said his value isn't high

Where was this "rumor" and was it a legit source, or just speculation or just Habs fans/media being hopeful? It's the first I've heard that Carolina was interested in Shaw.

 

[Ricck]

nope

 

[Holymakinaw]

If it's not ZERO value, it's pretty damn close to zero.

 

[HenrikW]

Oilers would trade Lucic 1v1 no retains and then buy out Shaw for 908k over 6 years.

Of course he is a proven stanley cup champion and playoff warrior.

I agree with the first part, not the second. The term of the contract is the problem, especially with his health issues. But the dollar figure is about right... maybe 200-300k over if you want to be picky. With the cap going to 80 M, 3.9M represent 4.9% of the cap. If you divide 80 Millions by 23 players it gives you an average salary of 3.48M. For a 35-40 pts player with sand paper and playoff pedigree, that's the dollar figure to expect in this day and age IMO.

 

[justafan22]

4 more years with that health history is a scary proposition

 

[Flames Fanatic]

While I'd agree at first blush he doesn't have much value, yet apparently multiple teams inquired about him at the deadline, so food for thought.

AND Montreal said he wasn't available. So while we fans may not see value, apparently some in the NHL do.
