Considering that he's 25 and last year was the first season of his career where he didn't bounce back and forth from the AHL to the NHL, I'd say Shaw is a prototypical 'tweener who is a little farther along than our current prospects. When all is said and done, he is the bar our prospects have to clear in order to earn a spot. If they can't clear that bar, they don't belong in the NHL.
I don't know why we have to have this same conversation every single year.
