The 23-year-old Shaw hasn't played in the NHL yet. He has six goals and eight assists in 18 games for the Iowa Wild, and is a native of Lloydminster, Alberta. He was a fourth round (97th overall) selection in the 2017 draft.
Meanwhile, two former Wild coaches are now head coaches for other NHL teams. Mike Yeo took over as interim coach in Philadelphia this morning, and the Canucks hired Bruce Boudreau after a housecleaning.
The Wild are off to one of the best starts in franchise history, and Kirill Kaprizov is tied for the NHL scoring lead.
