It's happened before, but usually, general managers stop the chance of a uurcer ending -decision and trade the player.

Despite not having played in a while, coach Bob Gainey seems to have confidence in hirer. "Gainey staid he's going to work me in slowly. He knows I'm out of shape. I,didn't play for three weeks." Moving from city to city may not be that difficult when you are a bachelor, but Shaw's wife Trish and their two young daughters 3amie.and'Diniel have now had to pack up the toys and diapers again, this time bound for Minnesota. "I told Trish the next time 1 got traded I was going to take a couple of days off and help her." But unfortunately, when he was notified at practice last Tuesday in Edmonton, there was no time to make family plans as he was put on a plane and sent to Minnesota.

"At the time of the trade, I'd rather be in Quebec where tax- es are higher."
