there is no way he is worth, even 1 mil. this is to make sure we are talking about mike richards from la.

 

if so, look at his production for the last 3-4 yrs. last yr he has 5 goals. and posters are saying how much.

It's a two-way deal which pays Leighton $575,000 at the NHL level

Yes. That's exactly why.

 

You might need him in case of an emergency.

Wow, Saad is being dealt to Columbus.

Wow, Saad is being dealt to Columbus.

Any idea on the change of direction anyone?

 

I'm assuming they're going in a different direction since they couldn't unload players during the draft. Saad sure seemed to be another member of the core so young and getting better and better...

This one hurts the most.

@TSNBobMcKenzie

 

CHI traded Saad because he was looking for 6 yrs with AAV of $6.5M. May have been an offer sheet coming tomorrow from a team with those #s.

 

 

That would explain it. Sucks.

it was a trade that needed to get done, i am not too excited about the rtn.

 

the hawks gave up 23 g 29 ass in regular season. i wonder who they think will supply those numbers.

 

so here is the question, Saad as 6 mil was he the same value of Toews or Kane at that same $$$....

From CSN

 

The Blackhawks traded forward Brandon Saad to the Blue Jackets for forwards Artem Ansimov, Marko Dano, Jeremy Morin, Corey Tropp and a fourth-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft.

Hes simply not worth that cost to the Hawks.

f***ing terrible Bowman. And LOL at Morin coming back.

hf rpt

 

3. (4) Marko Dano, C, 7.0 B

Drafted 1st round, 27th overall, 2013

 

Playing in the KHL for two seasons has prepared the Austrian product for the North American game. After spending 37 games with the Falcons, Dano was recalled to the Blue Jackets, where he has 8 points in 21 games. Although he is a natural center, he has been utilized on the wing in his time with the big club. Moving from center has allowed Dano to provide some extra defensive prowess to the Blue Jackets. He is a very capable two-way forward that has decent hands and good speed.

Hes simply not worth that cost to the Hawks.

He's 22 years old and still getting better. He should be still part of this core. Bickell/Sharp/Versteeg people might blame, but this one is on Kane and Toews deals though.

f***ing terrible Bowman. And LOL at Morin coming back.

 

he should have gotten more. imo.

The Hawks were caught by the US dollar appreciating vs the Canada when they through the cap was going to explode this next season.

he should have gotten more. imo.

Not when he's going to cost a huge contract.

Artem is a UFA next year...

Weird we included Paliotta.

I will say this. Dano is a really intriguing young player.

Artem is a UFA next year...

His point production isnt bad when he plays.

When you see Saad about to get 6 years at 6.5 per, how can you hold the same thought in your head that Kane and Toews would not get the same deal we are paying them?

f***ing terrible Bowman. And LOL at Morin coming back.

So did you think he should match the offer for Saad at 6.5 mil per?

Oh God and Bieksa to the Ducks, ugh. That team is the worst.

Bowman says they were never even close with Saad's camp.
