Did coach Q want Saad back ? Or was it a management decision to trade Panarin ? Thanks -
Some men dream of their hot ex-girlfriend. Some men dream of young sweaty muscular Russian men.I had a dream last week that Panarin told me he was coming back
As somebody who is more "Team Stan": This. All signings/trades are his call ultimately. Manning/Panarin get laid at his feet.Stan made the trade. The credit/blame lies at his feet.
That’s for the responses folks would any of you make any assumptions that Panarin and Q have a rift.

It was reported by Scott Powers (one of the better Chicago beats) that both Kane and Toews told Stan they'd like Saad back, that the team was missing the speed/size he brought.
It's doubtful either said 'oh, and trade Panarin for him'.
Ultimately, the players' desire for Saad, the loss of Hossa, combined with the organization's aligned belief that the team got pushed around by Nashville in the playoff sweep (that's not actually what happened, but whatever, perception is reality when you're the ones with the hand on the wheel), combined with the price-tag that Panarin was inevitably going to demand resulted in the trade.
I don't think that was the case.That’s for the responses folks would any of you make any assumptions that Panarin and Q have a rift.

Panarin and Saad with the same price tag. Difference was the length of the contracts each. Hawks haven't had much to give to get Saad.
It was a solid deal when it was made and it turned out horrible so far
No... it was a Cap trade and we all thought Saad would play better. If he would have played like he did in his 1st stint here we wouldn't have this discussion.I doubt many people thought it was a solid deal. On paper we got ripped off and that's been the reality of the deal so far. I thought it was an absolute joke to trade a likely top ten forward in the league for Saad. It's turned out about like I thought it would. Saad will never be close to what Panarin is.
