Last offseason, the Chicago Blackhawks were forced to part ways with a very influential player in Andrew Shaw. The ’Hawks and Shaw’s agent couldn’t come to an agreement on a new contract before the 2016-17 season, so Shaw was traded to the Montreal Canadiens for two second-round draft picks.
Shaw was a part of the 2013 and 2015 Stanley Cup teams in Chicago and was always a fan favorite at the United Center.
Shaw was known for his grit and his willingness to do the dirty work on the team. Those duties included but were not limited to battling in the corners, getting to the front of the net, finishing checks and fighting to motivate his team.
