Talent Analysis

A hard-nosed, hard-working agitator, Shaw can get under anyone's skin and is a good bet to outwork his opponents night in and night out. He displayed a solid offensive skillset in his first professional season and proved he could hold down a complimentary role on Chicago's scoring lines. Although he is more than willing to crash the net and has good finish, Shaw is not likely to be a primary scorer at the NHL level.


Future

Shaw's versatility and nose for the net should help his chances in sticking with the Blackhawks, but there will be plenty of other prospects in the mix. More time in Rockford is not out of the question.
