Forward Andrew Shaw agreed to terms on a six-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens on Monday.
Shaw, 24, could have become a restricted free agent Friday. The contract has an average annual value of $3.9 million, TSN reported.
"We are very pleased to have agreed to a long-term deal with Andrew Shaw," general manager Marc Bergevin told the Canadiens website. "As I mentioned last Friday following his acquisition, we are adding a solid character player to our team, a reliable player who plays with grit and a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks over the past five seasons. Andrew will add more leadership to our team. I had the opportunity to discuss with him over the past few days, and I sense his determination and excitement in joining the Canadiens' organization for many years to come."
Shaw was acquired by the Canadiens in a trade with the Blackhawks for two second-round picks in the 2016 NHL Draft. Montreal on June 24 also sent forward Lars Eller to the Washington Capitals for a second-round pick in 2017 and in 2018.
Shaw was selected in the fifth round (No. 139) by the Blackhawks in 2011. He had 14 goals, 34 points and a plus-11 rating in 78 regular-season games this season, and led Chicago with four goals in six Stanley Cup Playoff games. In 322 NHL regular-season games, Shaw has 70 goals, 137 points and 300 penalty minutes.
