Saad wearing 20 will bother me slightly. But, I also understand Steen's 20 isn't retired at the same time.
Steen's number should be retired.

Wasn't thrilled about the idea of signing Saad. Think he's a pretty "meh" player...I'm probably just being negative because he used to play for the shitbirds tho. He will probably will fit well in the lineup and we did need to add a legit top 6 LW. A Saad - ROR - Perron line would be a lot of fun to watch and tough on the other team.
Putting that aside, the contract is undeniably great. Very reasonable AAV and those worried about the term should check out the contract structure on capfriendly. In the fifth and final season of the contract, the actual dollars paid out drops down to $3.625 mill and the full NTC drops to 12 teams. Very moveable contract if it comes to that point (FWIW I don't think it will).

He'll be sorely missed in Denver. He was one of the few that actually showed up during the Vegas series and always came to play during important games. Having Saad + Buchnevich makes me quite a bit more worried about your guys' squad than I was a year ago.

Ya know
My thing is, people bitched when Maroon wore #7 (maybe not on here as much but definitely on FB/Twitter) and now no one even thinks twice about it. I get the Steen having JUST retired versus the gap between Walt and Maroon makes it a little more hard to swallow, but to me personally it doesn’t really bother me. And I’d like to think Steen/players in general don’t care that much about it.

I'm more uneasy on how it's going to be weird seeing 20 on the ice again and it not being Steen.

Another years experience with Thomas and Kyrou and the emergence of Kostin should have you worried too

Some of my jokes are really stupid and make no sense.
But, yes, goulash is yummy.

If he plays on the top line with ROR/DP57, I could definitely see him hitting 25+.

If he plays with RoR-Perron I could see it. If he plays with Schenn-Kyrou I see him with more assists.

Honestly; I think Saad scores more goals with Kyrou than with ROR/Perron.
I see a lot of odd-man breaks with those 2.

Considering he's only eclipsed 25 goals once in his career, I'm taking the under.

Hmmmm.....
That sounds all probabilistical and stuff.
I would be happy with 22g & 28a, but it depends on where in the lineup he’s deployed.
