Panarin - Saad trade now looks like lose-lose one.

Why? Both teams got exactly what they thought. Panarin the offensive very skilled winger, Saad more of a twoway winger who produces good offensive numbers. The trade was fine and both teams are in a playoff spot right now.

And it's not like the players are playing like crap. Saad has 6 goals in 12 games. Panarin has 10pts in 11 games.

Bad thread with no context. CLB is 7-4. How did they lose it?

Saad has been playing like crap for 5 or 6 games already (1 assist in the last 6 games). Panarin doesn't look good as well.

Panarin - Kane was probably the most exciting duo in the league, and now we have two players, who don't look that exciting.

umm no. Chicago still lost that trade.

 

[Bleedred]

Everybody just be quiet, and tell me who is higher in the standings right now? That's the obvious winner of the trade here. That's how we grade trades on here!

 

[Seanaconda]

Didn't Chicago need cap? Otherwise idk why they would of extended Kane's lw clone right before trading him

 

[Treent1]

They robbed Kane's dream line mate to get Toews back. Now they are bad and boring at least last year they were much more entertaining. Kane and Panarin were so fun to watch

 

[tictactoe]

this thread is a lose-lose.

 

[Bieber fever]

as soon as you trade talent for intangible (leadership , character , ect.) you lose imo . (I’m not saying Saad has no talent.)

Standings say other wise

How is this a lose/lose? Looks like both these teams got exactly what they wanted?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

For Chicago it wasn't all just about targeting Saad for the sake of replacing Panarin with something else (and to make up somewhat for the loss of Hossa i guess.), but also looking ahead in the cap world.

Saad is signed @ 6M per yr till the end of 20-21. Panarin has 1 yr left after this season.

The numbers Panarin put up in Chicago, he was due to a raise. And even though, say, 1.5-2M ain't a big difference, that's very significant for Chicago.

We still can't evaluate the trade fully until we know what happens in the future. What if Panarin doesn't end up re-signing in Columbus and they don't have a cup or anything like that to show for his time with them?

If he does though, i don't think there's any way Columbus loses the trade. They still need a player like him, right now it's just about finding the comfort level with the new team. Columbus isn't exactly a skill team where players like Panarin can play tic tac toes all the time. Need to find other ways to produce.

But yeah.. i would say for Columbus it was legitimately trying to improve their team, more so than for Chicago. Hawks had other reasons to pull the trigger.

I don’t think they give two f***s if you think they are entertaining tbh.

Let’s not forget the hjalmarsson trade either, definitely had an impact.

Good thing there are 70 games left.

 

[ColdSteel2]

Maybe one of them will score next game and we can re-evaluate it.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Let's revise every trade, streak....every week.

So much fun.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Jackets are on their best 10 game streak in franchise history, they are doing a-ok. Hope their franchise stays good for the foreseeable future, they've been through enough.

 

[D Wakaluk]

I like these early season hot takes as much as the next hockey nerd but c'mon man. C'mon.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Columbus won the trade.

 

[rent free]

not really. saad has 9 points in 12 games, including 3 game winners (all his goals are game winners) and panarin has 10 points in 11 games. how's that a lose-lose for both teams?

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Hockey's not about players being fun to watch. Hockey's about winning games. Both of these players are producing and the teams are winning. How is it lose-lose?

 

[Whaleafs]

Panarin was a hugh pick up for Columbus. I expect them to make a solid run this playoffs. Provided they don't see Pittsburgh in the first round.
