Staal spent parts of 12 seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes - serving as captain for six years - before being traded to the New York Rangers at the deadline last year. He signed a three-year, $10.5-million deal with the Minnesota Wild on July 1.
Shaw signed a six-year, $23.5-million contract with the Montreal Canadiens last week after being acquired in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks on draft night.
The 24-year-old spent five seasons with the Blackhawks after they selected him in the fifth round of the 2011 draft.
