Rumor: Habs to test waters on Andrew Shaw

[MSLs absurd thighs]

I tell you guys, we'll get to 10M cap space before the end of the calendar year. It's not going to be easy, but we'll get those 10 f***ing million bucks!

 

[DesmondDekker]

They can test waters as much as they want, Shaw will never fetch as much as what he was acquired for a little over a year ago. It’s a lose-lose situation for our dumbass GM. I like that.

 

[Roadhouse]

I tell you guys, we'll get to 10M cap space before the end of the calendar year. It's not going to be easy, but Geoff will save and re-invest those 10 ****ing million bucks!

There, there.

 

[habsgirl5000]

shaw has as much trade value as montoya......zero

 

[Wats]

The point was that he's useful.

Mitchell could do what he does at fraction of the cost and be better defensively.

 

[Yoor]

ok all the true statements aside, who and what do you seriously think we could get back for Shaw? I mean, he clearly won't land us a center of any use to us, maybe some defensive depth from someone? Maybe Vegas? I honestly don't see the point as the return certainly won't have a real impact short of us robbing blind another GM. Strange if true.

A 2nd round draft pick if the Habs retain 1 million in salary per year.

 

[Price is Wright]

50% of his cap and you'll get a taker. I bet Chicago would take him back.

''Y'all want some 5'10 playoff warrior with an enormous contract?''

f***in no.

 

[Lebowski]

What a surprise.

How could a team of pro scouts and a GM that collectively get paid millions come to the conclusion that this would be a good trade, or that he'd be worth that kind of contract.

 

[Giacomo]

Will we get two 2nds for Shaw?

I don't think so

 

[Giacomo]

He scored many points in the playoffs that year. In

At the time Shaw finished the playoffs with 4 goals 2 assists in the six games chicago played in.

Don't like Shaw and to me he bring about the same Gallagher and both are on the small side but Gallagher's shot is terrible almost peewee level.

Did you even watch the game last night?

Everyone says this here but I don't see gallagher's shot being peewee level.

I don't mind Shaw as a player. I do mind his contract. In the cap world you just can't give a 3rd liner nearly 4M on a long term deal. No matter how you spin it it doesn't make much sense.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Forget the two seconds we gave up, future considerations and the open cap space is all I want in return for Shaw. Can not stand watching this guy play anymore.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Im not buying it.. unless CJ got tired of him and when he realized MB wouldnt budge, CJ went up to Molson directly

 

[SquiddFX]

If true, good luck with that.

Or the last 5 years? Gally has one bad year, a year in which his hand blows up, and everyone forgets he is a 25/25 guy. Unreal how underrated he is. Nearly as productive as Rads playing 4 less mins a game, very little on the pp, with worse players. Drives me nuts when guys slag him.

This is how I feel as well. It's one thing to overpay a bit for a third/fourth line player if the GM really thinks he brings something extra to the table but you cannot give both term and extra money. One or the other but not both.

He's one of the best play drivers in the entire NHL. It always irritates me when people slag on good players on the team and ignore the fact that, just maybe, they don't have enough help out there.

good thing Bergevin doesn't possess the emotion of embarassment

I've always thought that you don't need a Shaw, when you already have a Gallagher.

One or the other, not both.
