Apparently Andrew Shaw wants to get *paid* and that's gonna be a problem.
Restricted free agent Andrew Shaw is asking for an average annual salary of at least $4.5 million in his talks with the Blackhawks, reports the Chicago Sun-Times' Mark Lazerus. That's a big raise from the $2 million cap hit he had last season and would require the team to clear additional salary in order to fit under the 2016-17 salary cap.
Shaw, 24, has been a priority for the Blackhawks this offseason, but like with Brandon Saad last summer, it appears the player is entering talks with a price point the team can't possibly reach.
