The arrival of Brandon Saad to Columbus brings a lot of things. Hope for the future. Excitement for the coming season. Anticipation of seeing him line up with guys like Ryan Johansen and Nick Foligno.

Most importantly, though: What do we call him?
Fortunately, the fans in Chicago took care of that last one - almost since the day he arrived in the NHL, #20 was recognized as being.
