I love the people here. Someone asks if this could be a Colborne comparable and everyone jumps all over the poster when he is 100% right. Shaw is very much a comparable for Colborne when it comes to contract negotiations whether you like it or not.

They need to pay the Montreal premium though due to taxes, despite that I do agree it's a bit high still even with that factored in

Yup.
Shaw
24 years old
.425 points per game over 322 games (regular season)
Colborne
26 years old
.454 points per game over 233 games (regular season)
Colborne has better offensive totals, though Shaw has played far more games at this stage of his career. The big difference though, is playoffs.
Shaw
.522 points per game over 67 games.
Colborne
.230 points per game over 13 games.

If this was a comparable situation to Colborne why would they not qualify Colborne? And a team actually gave two second round picks to Chicago for Shaw. Do you think if Treliving had anything close to that at the draft that he'd not have taken it especially knowing he wasn't going to qualify him?
Calgary could have qualified him and at the very worst paid him Andrew Shaw money for only one year. And they passed.
Again, how is this comparable?

I think it's definitely comparable in the sense that it's likely what Colborne would have been looking for, although not nessesarily what he deserves

If you cannot understand how they are comparable then you will never understand, but just a hint look up a post.

No I'll never understand cause it makes zero sense.
Let's go over this again.
Calgary passed at one year and the very worst what Andrew Shaw will make every year for 6 years.
Calgary could have had Colborne for one year and they still passed on him. What does that tell you about his value?

Chicago does this with every player who isn't a core piece. Had a good season? We just earned you a huge payday. Won the cup? Still trading you, we already have our core.
The Flames are finally starting to configure themselves this way. Stajan, Raymond, Wideman, and Smid's salary could more than cover Stamkos or Lucic.
I hate the Blackhawks.

They are comparable, but that doesn't mean Shaw is worth his new contract. Luckily we have a smart GM.
Shaw should be happy that he was drafted by the Blackhawks. Had he been drafted by an also ran, this contract negotiation would've gone down quite differently. I would sign a guy like this for 3 years 2.5m aav but no higher. And I would only do that if the bottom 6 wasn't plugged up with fat contracts.

It tells you that bad GMs sometimes place too much value on average players who happen to play on Cup winning teams.

Pretty bad contract... Canadiens continue to be a badly run organization. They seem to be obsessed with competing with the Bruins at all things, including incompetence (Bruins are winning)

Wow...that is a bad contract.
As much as I would dislike it were Colborne to leave after not being qualified, I'm in no way prepared to offer him a contract like this, even if they aren't exactly comparable players.
This is why I'm willing to let Treliving do his job, even if it looks like he'll lose an asset for nothing. Going the other route of the Bergevins of the league is unacceptable.

The more expensive (currently) player helped his team win a cup though.
The Habs already have two Gallagher's anyway.

And Colborne would then file for arbitration and use the contract and career stats as his argument, and the arbitrator could have decided on 2 years. The arbitrator would have no real option than to give him the money. Flames decided to not qualify and hopefully negotiate a more fair deal in free agency and if Colborne won't sign then let him walk.
Arbitration is the problem in the whole equation. If a player has 1 or 2 good years he can cash in.

The arbitrator doesn't get to choose the length. If it's a player elected arbitration the team can decide on one year or two.

Six years is way too long for this type of player. Bad contract.

But then his qualifying offer the next season is over $4M, so the team loses either way.

When's the last time the Habs had a competent GM?
