We have a glut of forwards next year, somebody is the odd man out. Glad we got Suter though.
If they're able to keep Saad until the TDL next year they'll get a 1st+B prospect for him easily.Great moment for offloading Brandon Saad's contract.

I like Saad, but I want no part of him in the Hawks situation at a market value contract in his late 20s and early 30s.I am amazed how much people undervalue Saad.
I don't think he's undervalued. It has more to do with him being paid too much and his cap hit causing problems for the team.I am amazed how much people undervalue Saad.

If he plays like he did this season, he'll draw a nice return.Not sure about that. Depends how he plays, a lot. Just old merits to show won't get you 1st.
Unless he takes a discount to stay Saad will get another big FA ticket so we are on the same page there.
No kidding. If he hits the open market he's equaling or exceeding his current contract. If Kevin Hayes could get 7.1x7, so can Saad.Unless he takes a discount to stay Saad will get another big FA ticket so we are on the same page there.
I know that he is a good player, but he is not a top 6 good player, not anymore.
He can give you 20 goals and 40 points and that's it. Has a cap hit of 6 mill, baad contract.
- even if his contract ends after 20-21 season, its bad.

I have high hopes about Pius Suter, seen handful of his games (online and tv) like him a lot.
very versatile forward

I think he would get a deal close to 6.5. Hayes is a center so he has more value.
Also, acquiring Saad has done just what it was intended to do, which was revive Toews offensively. I believe Toews down years had more to do with his linemates than him.I think he would get a deal close to 6.5. Hayes is a center so he has more value.
I think a flat cap is going to stunt a lot of the Free Agent class of 2020's deals.
