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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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