They needed the savings from Bickell just to fill out the lineup. If they do re-sign Shaw it will be a team-friendly deal, because they need to save money for Panarin next offseason.
Shaw's cap hit for this year was 2M, and I was reading articles about this trade yesterday which were suggesting Shaw would be looking at 3-4M deal, and that the Hawks want to re-sign him.
They definitely need cap savings for Panarins deal, but TT will be on ELC this next year and could be probably re-signed for less than Shaw and I'd say he'll be the better player next year/longterm.
But I'm very happy for TT.
