In a recent turn of events, the Chicago Blackhawks struck a deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets, notably including first-line left-winger Brandon Saad. Also heading to Columbus in the deal was forward Alex Broadhurst and defenseman Michael Paliotta. In return, the Blackhawks received forwards Artem Anisimov, Marko Dano, Corey Tropp and a familiar face in Jeremy Morin. I had previously discussed Dano, Tropp and Morin, but let’s move on to Anisimov, who the Blackhawks signed to an extension Wednesday before his first season with the Blackhawks.
