Brandon Saad: Healthy Scratch

[Mickey Marner]

Again, what is wrong with a healthy scratch?

Because they're paying him almost 6 million AAV to watch hockey.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Man I love Quennville. I wish our coaching staff had the balls to scratch Ryan

 

[absolute garbage]

Saw a couple games by Hawks and thought he looked terrible. Wonder why he has fallen so hard. Should be in the prime of his career.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Man.. that's sad.

The potential was there but never used

And yes im referencing Brandon and your post lmao

 

[nickdawg95]

Man.. that's sad.

you mean Saad

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Because they're paying him almost 6 million AAV to watch hockey.

Technically, if he only sat out this one game he'd be paid $73,171 to watch hockey

 

[NeoCanuck]

Alright, stop with the puns.

 

[Captain Mountain]

this is why you don't let your players make your personnel decisions for you.

#intangibles

I'm not sure that's the case. Saad was well liked by scouts, old school guys and analytic-prone people.

Saad's decline has been pretty strange.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I noticed this thread and even Shattenkirk being scratched this season.

It's about time Ryan gets scratched. I don't think he's been that bad this season but the guy couldve been scratched many times during his time and Ottawa and has never been.

 

[BlueDream]

Always been pretty overrated. The trade for Panarin was awful the moment it went down...

 

[Misery74]

He can’t be worse than Chris Kunitz, can he?

 

[LeafGrief]

Alexa play Despacito

And to think I do that for free.

Nothing. That's why he's a HEALTHY scratch.

 

[YpsiWings]

Shoot I pay to do that.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Alright, stop with the puns.

Agreed, it's pure Schmaltz.

I was referencing Toews' alleged influence in them reacquiring Saad.

Saad was super lazy when he was with CBJ, I was thrilled to get rid of him. Getting Bread, even if just for two years, was a big plus.

I do find it interesting that his laziness has carried over to CHI, though.

Well, you only said #intangibles, so that wasn't that clear.

And my point is that it wasn't just a former teammate that liked Saad. Everybody did.

 

[Battle Lin]

the nhl is all about skating and skill now, people dont care if your a little small.....you just cannot trade for power and size and grit, its so so stupid, hang onto your small skilled guys everyone

He lazily scored 53 points (career high) for each of the two seasons he played with CBJ?

 

[GoJackets1]

Yup. I didn't say he wasn't talented. He was definitely lazy though.

 

[Crede777]

He was a healthy scratch once during the 2nd season because Torts said he wasn't playing with any effort.

Not that I think he is a dump or anything. If he can get motivated, he is a quality player.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Man, I feel bad for Kane...he once again loses his linemate from the previous year.

Saad is terrible now

 

[Butch 19]

Frustrating to say the least

would not fit on a jersey
