A day after the Edmonton Oilers shipped Jordan Eberle to the New York Islanders, another playoff team has traded away a high-profile forward.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman first reported that the Chicago Blackhawks would send 25-year-old winger Artemi Panarin to the Columbus Blue Jackets to re-acquire Brandon Saad, a key member of Chicago's Stanley Cup-winning teams in 2013 and '15.
The deal includes draft-pick compensation -- a sixth-round pick to Columbus and a fifth-rounder to Chicago -- and also has the Blackhawks sending forward Tyler Motte to Columbus for goalie Anton Forsberg.
