Brandon Saad Blackhawks Playoff Highlights



Since Saader came back, I decided to make this video. Mostly goals here, but a couple of apples too.

    I really hated to see Panarin go. Great player and I wish nothing but the best for. But I love all of Saad's game. Panarin had some flaws and played pretty awful in his short playoff career. I am sure he can turn it around but he was not the player the Hawks needed to get past the 1st round. We need players who create opportunities, can battle and win pucks down low, drive the net when neccesary and overall are better players. It is not to take anything away from Panarin, he is an excellent player with probably more technical skill than Saad, but I felt a lot of time we never won because of Panarin, a lot of his goals seemed to come when it did not matter much. There was no memorable goal for me. Panarin had a wicked 1 timer, is an amazing passer. Had excellent chemistry with Kane in particular. But still Kane does not need much help to be a great player. Toews and that first line who skunked it up for parts of the season, needed the help.

    This move was made to make the overall team more competitive. To me it feels equal to the Hall/Severson trade or even the Weaber/Subban trade from last seasons. I hope it comes with the same success story for both the teams involved. You cannot say those trades were unequal both teams got what they were aiming to get. Nashville in particular. I think both teams are slightly better from this move. I am biased as a Hawks fan but I feel it slightly favors them only because the xfactor is Saad already played in the system. Panarin will be fine, he proved that when he went and had success for team russia over the summer once the season had ended. I just give a slightly biased edge to the Blackhawks for getting the same calibar player as they were giving up, but they also get a guy who is experienced and has had success in this system already. No reason to believe he should not see similar success to come.
