After a difficult season like the one the Chicago Blackhawks have had, it is easy to start finger-pointing, calling for players, coaches and front office members to be gone in the offseason, and playing the game of “if the team had done this instead.” I know I have done it all season long.
One name that has gotten a lot of heat this year has been Brandon Saad. He is being talked about, once again, as the season winds to a close and fans see that Artemi Panarin has eclipsed the 80-point mark in Columbus this season, becoming the leading single-season point scorer in Blue Jackets history.
