The Chicago Blackhawks are facing yet another salary cap crunch this off-season. The Blackhawks will have to let go of some of their Unrestricted Free Agents and Restricted Free Agents. That list of restricted Free Agents and Unrestricted Free Agents includes Andrew Shaw. Shaw is a Restricted Free Agent and is coming off a career high in assists at 20. Shaw played a physical game on all four lines and on the power-play. In the playoffs, Shaw scored a team high four goals despite being suspended for one game.
