Shaw was traded to the Canadiens on Friday in exchange for a pair of second-round draft picks in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
EDGE Analysis
There were reports last week that Shaw, who is a pending RFA, was close to a new deal with Chicago, but obviously those talks fell apart. The Habs traded Lars Eller to open a roster spot for Shaw, who should represent an upgrade in numerous areas. Shaw posted 14 goals and 34 points for the Blackhawks last year, which is on par with what should be expected of him this year in Montreal. Shaw works his tail off and he is a proven winner, but he certainly isn't the proven finisher that Montreal is still seeking.
