Improvement. I'll take it.

terrible, terrible an early 2nd and a midd 2nd for Shaw (RFA and he wants to get paid)? are you ****ing kidding me? we basically swapped Eller for Shaw and 2 early 2nd's for 2 late 2nd's.. brutal.

the Eller trade was good, the Shaw trade canceled that out.

 

[JayKing]

I hated Eller but Shaw is yet another grinder

 

[19VJ17]

Good trade

 

[Luigi Habs]

Congrats DD is staying.

I hope they don't think Shaw is a top 6 Winger.

 

[Lebowski]

My God this is dumb.

 

[CaptainBenn]

they didnt trade eler for shaw
they traded this years two second round picks vs Shaw

 

[LyricalLyricist]

I like this deal but quite frankly I think DD needs to go too. It's not one OR the other.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

I don't mind this. Shaw is better than Eller. Basically clears up the glut at center and gives us a 2nd line RW.

 

[Talks to Goalposts]

Lame move to get a Therrien type player. Shaw is overratted and wants to be overpaid.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I... don't really care about this trade.

 

[donghabs98]

I'm not too happy with giving up 2 2nds in this year's draft but Shaw brings more to the lineup than Eller.

 

[hototogisu]

Shaw is better than Eller. So I like that. Wish we could have got a 2016 2nd back this year. But we got a player and didn't lose any draft picks overall. Not so bad.

 

[Lshap]

Shaw's a RFA. Even a new contract will be less than Eller's. Bergevin saving some cap space for more moves.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Is Shaw a UFA after this season? If yes then those 2 2nd rounders are huge overpayment.

 

[JayKing]

The trade is a Therrien move. More grind.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Shaw also has Stanley Cup experience. That's something this team was sorely lacking.

 

[Shadow Journal]

Is he the idiot who called someone a ******, or am I thinking of someone else?

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

We overpaid - and for a character guy.

Thought we were built on character.

I wouldn't like the deal if it was an XBox exclusive.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Love it. Shaw is what you hope Eller would've been.

 

[Ghetto Sangria]

Underrated part of this deal... The PP just got better. So did the effort

 

[rockjngo]

Andrew Shaw is a Gallagher type.

Therrien wins again. Eller out, Desharnais in, and he gets another grinder. I'm starting to think that he's the one running the team.
