Confirmed with Link: Panarin/Motte/2017 6th to Columbus for Saad/Anton Forsberg/2018 5th

[TheSting]

So four years of Saad versus two years of Panarin? Okay, I guess I can see the logic there, but man.... worsening our best line to help the Toews line.

Kane tends to make anyone on his line better. Toews on the other hand needs help.

If true..can't believe this is actually happening

 

[ClydeLee]

AH, I see Tyler Motte going, I liked me Applesauce with some 2way potential but we'll see.

Goalie Forsberg coming to Chi per Uncle Bob.

Jackets get Chicago's sixth-round pick this weekend and Hawks get 5th-rounder in 2018; that's the pick swap in the deal

 

[TheSting]

I'm fine with this Saad move. Holy ****, I never thought he'd be a Hawk again...

**** is seriously crazy right now.

Saad is a true power forward and brings much needed size. Can't believe this is actually happening, lol

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Not a fan of this. I would have rather kept Panarin.

 

[Sarava]

This team is going to be much younger in 24 hours. I wonder if seabrook is next.

Yes please

 

[Putt Pirate]

I am meh on this one. Kind of a wash but it is proven Toews cannot raise a line up. And Mini Hossa is needed now that Bog Hossa is gone.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Forsberg has looked good in AHL but sucked in NHL thus far

Looks like we got our #2 G for next year

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Somewhere, there's a fan with a Saad jersey that had just bought a Panarin jersey to be their new main. Their emotions are conflicted.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

So Forsberg's your new backup.

Very good AHL numbers the last 3 seasons.

 

[Fortyfives]

Well the changes are coming thing was true I guess....

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I think I am fine with this

I loved Saad and his 2 way game will be very important with Hossa gone. Panarin is entertaining but lets admit it he struggles when games get more physical (Playoffs for instance)

Forsberg could be good or he could just be guy that can only perform in minors (Is 24). Either way he will be #2 next year

I didn't see much from Motte that had me excited

Yup, I think the "mini Hossa" aspect you speak of is being overlooked here as well.

 

[sharkhawk]

With Hosea out we need a salad more than panarin. And I'm a huge Artemis fan

 

[chicagoskycam]

Wow, everything is happening.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Back to a 1 line team now.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

I'm fine with this. The other trade though, puke.

It's 5 ****ing games the last 2 years

I.... actually agree with everything you just said.

 

[GGGHawks18]

Perfectly fine with this. I love Saad, especially for four more years compared to Panarin's two.

Murphy and Saad part of the core now. Love it.

We were a 1 line team before this trade

 

[piteus]

It feels like the hockey version of The League. Where's Taco when you need him?

Please staple Seabrook's contract to one of these deals.

 

[Illinihockey]

Back to a 1 line team now.

What? We were a 1 line team last year.
