Brandon Saad Set To Be Traded Before Deadline?
With the Chicago Blackhawks expected to be sellers this deadline, we might start to see a couple of dominos fall soon. We've already heard reports about names like John Hayden and Andreas Martinsen, and we've heard that Chris Kunitz likely won't lift his no movement clause. So who else could be on the move?NHL insider Elliotte Friedman appeared on Sportsnet 650 radio and talked a bit of Blackhawks. Friedman said the likely only untouchables at this point are Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Henri Jokiharju and Alex DeBrincat. The team will try and move a piece of two.«So I think the biggest thing is going to be what is the piece they decide that they can move. Is it Saad, is it something else. But I do think they're going to be looking to breathe new life into their organization.»
Saad is signed through the 2020-21 season at $6million a season and and doesn't have any trade protection. He's been practically ineffective since being brought back to Chicago.
