Saad

[HockeySauce]

Saad is a Pacioretty/Marleau hybrid on the ice. He doesn't have the hands or puck-handling skill/style as Hossa.

I agree with Disgruntled on his point projection, but I'd peg him as a 55-60 point (25-30/35A) player consistently, with a couple very good years where he breaks 70 points and 30 goals.

I think Saad is already a 20 goal, 30 assist, 50 point player at this very moment as a 21 year old. Last year he was on pace for 48 points. This year so far(small sample) he is on pace for 51 points.

I think if he can improve his puck skills and grows mentally, thinking the game faster and improving his shot he could be a 25-30G/40-45A player. I think a realistic expectation would be 25 goals and 40 assists for 65 points.

Just glad we have this kid because without him it could get bad with Sharp/Hossa getting older. Hopefully some other gems are in the current prospect pool as well.
