Talent Analysis
Shaw is a big winger who does not hesitate to use his frame to his advantage but is more than a checking line winger. He is willing to absorb punishment at the top of the crease or engage in puck battles along the boards and is a strong skater with a willingness to drive to the net, Shaw can also help out on the penalty kill. Steadily adapting to the pace and higher skill level of pro hockey, he has shown flashes of the playmaking ability he displayed in junior hockey and is scoring more consistently in his second AHL season.
Future
Shaw played in 56 games, including three playoff contests, for the Florida Panthers in 2015-16. At the end of his original entry-level contract, he would become an unrestricted free agent if not tendered a qualifying offer by Florida. A big forward who doesn't play an overly physical game, Shaw projects as a lower line two-way forward with some scoring ability.
