The rumours of a new contract started almost immediately after the Canadiens acquired Andrew Shaw from the Chicago Blackhawks, and it appears that they are closing in on a new contract with the restricted free agent.
Marc Antoine Godin of La Presse reported this morning that there is an offer on the table of six years at close to four million per year.
Now, a lot of people have been either for or against Shaw and the contract he will be getting. In truth, it’s not bad or great - it’s perfectly fine.
