Brandon Saad has had a roller coaster of a second stint with the Chicago Blackhawks. After being re-acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2017, on draft day for Artemi Panarin, Saad’s play left a bad taste in Blackhawks’ fans’ mouths. It took a while, but that taste has gradually subsided and is no longer present in 2019-20. He has gone from being healthy scratched last season to one of the best players on this Blackhawks team, again.
To start the 2019-20 season, Brandon Saad has been the best forward on this Chicago Blackhawks team. That’s saying a lot, especially with the influx of forward depth and offensive firepower on the team.
