We got a 2nd for 2 years of Hayes' $3.75. You'll get at least that for Saad. Can't split that space and do better. So what better use of that space do you propose?
Retain on a guy like Petts and maximize the return on our biggest fish at the trade deadline.

Also, the Blues don't have any 2hd rounders for EACH of the next three drafts.

He has four goals on the year and a 4.5 mil cap hit for this year and next. That would make no sense.
The fascination I think mainly comes from fans that were around in that draft and were paying attention to our draft position and Saad being on the board. But at the time we still had Shero and company with their “all defenseman belong to us” mentality. And those fans, I was one of them, wanted to see the local kid drafted with at least one of our 1st rounders that year. Now take it one of those two dmen became one hell of an asset for the organization. The other is barely a cliffnote.

Days are long gone that I would ever want him on this team unless he came in as a free agent for cheap. But I think that’s a epicenter of a lot of peoples fascination with him is they wish we would have drafted him.

Never understood the fascination with Saad.

That said, I'd gladly take him on for nothing and then plan on flipping him later. They're going to trade O'Connor so they'll need someone to replace him in the lineup.

Is a 32 year old Saad any good? Can’t say I’ve seen a ton of him.

His stats suggest he's bottomed out hard, but no idea whether that's situation/confidence or physical ability.


Incidentally, I'd suggest the Saad thing has something to do with him being a good top six winger who's been rumoured to be available for about half of the last 10 seasons, if not more. His name would come up a ton here even if he wasn't from Pittsburgh.
