There’s no denying Brandon Saad’s departure left a void on our beloved Chicago Blackhawks’ roster, and more importantly in the heart of ’Hawks fans. Saad’s tenure with the ’Hawks may have been brief, but it was filled with paramount success, and every Chicago denizen was looking forward to watching Saad’s unprecedented potential come to life with the Blackhawks.
Alas, it was not meant to be for Saad and the ’Hawks, so the question now is, who will fill Saad’s skates? Well, the Blackhawks may have already found the answer.
Amongst the plethora of players brought to Chi-Town from the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Saad trade, all of whom thus far are basically “no names” to most ’Hawks fans (save perhaps Jeremy Morin), Marko Dano may be just the type of under-the-radar candidate to fill the Saad slot.
