Sure man we got a deal. Nothing wrong with a friendly wager hahaWell, yeah, I'll take the bet but I've disappeared for years at a time before! I don't want to see you stop posting because I was right. Let's do something else. Just leave it at who scores more points this coming season, Saad or Panarin. Whoever loses has to have an avatar of the traded away player in their new jersey with the caption "Better than Saad/Panarin" for the entire offseason and it gets put up before the draft. Deal?
I agree and not just because the Bread Man is on my keeper team
Him with Wennberg should be a productive combo and they'll probably throw Foligno on there to balance things out. Solid #1 line imo. Panarin will put up 65-70 points.
Even if he hits 60-65 it's still equal to or more then Saad put up. Then we have up a backup goalie who never performed well for us when called up for Motte who then allowed us to save cap and not sign Gagnar and allowed us to move Hartnell. Worst case scenario is he gets what Saad got us then it was a lateral move and we improved on getting Motte for Forsberg.See, I think it's going to work out that the Blackhawks got the better player and the better cap hit. We'll see. The only reason people say Panarin is better is his production. That goes down and all the dangles in the world don't mean anything. The Jackets NEED Panarin to hit 70 points, which would be a career low for him.

Outside of offense, Saad brings so much more than Panarin. Panarin has to outscore him by a healthy amount (15-20 points) to be clearly better. If they end up within 5 points of each other, the Jackets got robbed.
See that so much more is why we wanted Saad in the first place. That 2 way style he played and his ability to get a takeaway and use his speed to score on the breakaway. Problem was he had been benched here and nearly scratched because he wouldn't not back check and multiple times his lack of effort lead to a goal one huge one almost lead to a healthy scratch but there was a last minute injury or illness that got him in. He also literally misses every break away he has ever had here I swear to god if I see a break away if I see it's sad I just get sad haha. He always missed half the time not even hitting net. And I love Saad I'm a person who was a fan while he was in Chicago and thought the trade thread the day it happened was a delusional CBJ fan asking for a guy we could never get that's how highly I thought of him. It's very possible Saads play gets even better and Toews gets back to doing Toews things. But Saad was about at his peak of what he would have been here and that's ok.Outside of offense, Saad brings so much more than Panarin.

I don't think it would be unfair to say Saad didn't give it his all in Columbus. It's telling that CBJ fans say he was disinterested and almost scratched, yet his production was the same. There is definitely another level for Saad. We'll see if he shows it.
Basically unable to admit that Chicago may have not received the best player in the deal.
So if Kane's production drops is it because Panarin is gone? I've seen how Panarin "won't put up points like in Chicago because of Kane...". It will be an interesting year and this is an area I'll watch closely.

It's no coincidence that Kane put up his 2 best years ever playing with Panarin. He has Panarin to thank for helping him win a Ross, Pearson & Hart as well.
Last year was just your typical run of the mill season for Kane. Panarin didn't help him anymore than anyone else would have.

Patty's last two season were his highest point totals in his career. His average prior to that was around 65-70. It's impossible to deny that Bread Man had a huge impact on Kaner and vice versa. Those two were like peanut butter and jelly man...awesome combo.
Saad is a good player, but he's no Bread Man offensively. Heck, Saad probably won't even be playing with Kane for the majority of the year anyways.

Panarin had really worn thin on me by the time that trade was made so I honestly don't even care if both players produce the same amount of points as last year. I'm just glad he's not a part of our team anymore. It's just a nice coincidence we got the guy who was key to 2 Cups in return and I've always thought of Saad as a potential 60-70 point player and that hasn't changed, he's still 24.
