Yes, I'm kidding people.
I don’t agree with this mocking.
H4L is right, a healthy Shaw has value. Teams look for grit and guys who park in front of the net when the game changes in the playoffs.
Rebuilding: Where do we go from here?

- Start date

Now that he's guaranteed to be paid he can ask for a trade to a better team.
Because he's making 4m and scores 10g, he has negative value. There were rumors a team wanted him last year, but he would have been dumped if that was the case. Grit? That's a myth with him, he doesn't do anything and we overpaid for him. If you trade him, you're getting a bad contract back. Another dead weight contract on the team is Alzner.

Alzner is way way worse than Shaw. Just because you don't like Shaw doesn't mean he has no value. Other GM likes him, the problem is that MB likes him even more.
The rumoured deal was Perrault from Winnipeg
He needs to be healthy and hopefully have a career year to increase value , but that`s Nero`s trade puppet

You aren't taking into consideration that he's been banged up the past two seasons. Apparently he's finally healthy.

Pretty sure Shaw won't be ready until at least mid October. He's confirmed as a no go for training camp.
Unfortunately he is on the wrong team right now to be effective . Rebuilding and 2-3 years away from anything and Shaw arent a fit .

Agreed
Just like Alzner , Shlemko , etc
I dont understand how these clowns think before they make moves . What the hell are you picking up expensive spare parts when your team stinks , total nonsense.

cap floor?
The thing the habs are 12 million dollars away from? Not sure that's a huge concern...
you need at least to look like you are trying to be competitive.
We are trying to compete in the Hughes Derby , we are doing fine.
The other option didn’t work ....3 top 10 picks in 6 years and not competing for anything
Sure we have a cap floor . Sign an Alzner type in August to 1x 3 mil . Don’t hand him a 5 year term and have an albatross on your hands for 5 years.
What we should do and started with Winnipeg is this. Go find 3 more teams looking to unload salary with players having 1-2 years left .
Acquire multiple picks/prospects to add to our inventory.
By the time we are competing these guys are off the books .
Now your at the floor with short term deals .
You don’t give Shaw 6 years at dumb money. He should be developed in your minor league system on the cheap for 3 years . Then when he wants big money you deal him .
