Andrew Shaw will be making a return to the Windy City this upcoming season following a trade that took place on Sunday night. Shaw was dealt back to the Chicago Blackhawks from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for three draft picks. Among those draft picks are a second and seventh round pick for next year's draft, as well as a third round pick for the 2021 draft. The Blackhawks also got a seventh round draft pick for the 2021 draft in this trade. This deal comes just three years after the Blackhawks sent the forward north of the border in a similar deal.
The 27-year-old is sticking around the United Center for a couple seasons now that he is back, as he is under contract through the 2021-2022 season. This past season saw him play in 63 games for Montreal, recording 19 goals and a career-high 28 assists. The forward also has plenty of Stanley Cup Playoff experience, mostly with the Blackhawks, with 16 goals and 19 assists in 61 postseason games.
He was selected in the fifth round of the 2011 NHL Draft, and spent his first five NHL seasons with Chicago. He ended up winning two Stanley Cups with them in 2013 and 2015, before getting traded away in June of 2016. Part of his time there also included the game-winning goal in the third overtime of a Stanley Cup Finals game against the Boston Bruins, and the Blackhawks are excited to have his pesky, excited energy back on their team.
