Not a poor man's Saad, but I can see the Brouwer comparison. Has potential to score 20g, but is too inconsistent to do so every year. Has a physical edge, when he wants to.Panik is poor man’s Brandon Saad or a rich man’s Troy brouwer.
Solid two way forward can play in top 6 role if the right mix or in part time role. Probably best usage as a third line guy though. It wasn’t really working in Chicago this year as Saad while a very good player doesn’t have the finishing skills Marian Hossa had.
Duclair isn’t really a right wing though although neither is debrincat? So *shrugs*

they got rid of player who did not want to be in the organization and an organization that did not want the player and accepted the best offer for himWhy exactly did Arizona make this trade? Duclair looked pretty damn good last night.
Are they getting older? Younger?
What is the plan in Arizona?
Panik a poor mans Saad? Well nooooooot even close.

Comparing Saad and panik is just awfulSaad really good two way power forward with a little bit of finish to his game.
Panik okay two way power forward with a little bit of finish to his game.
I stand by my comparison. Matter of fact Panik was playing more or less playing saad’s role last year on toews’s line. They just haven’t a guy to play hossa’s role.
The poor man's Saad comparison is apt, not sure why so many Blackhawks fans are poo-pooing it.
He can skate, he has some power and can win puck battles, he's responsible defensively and he generates a metric ton of shots.
He's just not as consistent at any of those things, or finishing, as Saad generally is (though Saad certainly has his cold spells too).
Poor man's Saad sums it up well.
Panik is underrated in this thread, comparable demonstrated offensive upside to Duclair and does more away from the puck and making other team uncomfortable around the net. Can play anywhere rather than top 6 or bust.

They were a joke and an embarrassment before Chayka came along.They did it because they have a top 3GM in the league...LOL.
Until the Coyotes get rid of Chayka and his clown system they'll continually be a complete joke and an embarrassment to the league.

DM did a great job for what resources he had.
This trade was a prime example of a player not liking where he was playing. Watch him turn on this second half of the season
If by "where" you mean on the 4th line or in the press box you'd be correct. He's been dicked around his whole time here by two coaches. The guy just wanted to play and given a chance to do what he does best.
