Andrew Shaw – Perhaps no player raised his profile more than the competitive Shaw during the Blackhawks playoff run. Essentially a spare part during the regular season, he became a very integral part of the team, moving to centre and being a positive contributor to the cause. For my money, his impact will be greater over the long term than that of Bryan Bickell, who was the breakout player of the playoffs.
