Wow. I am also hearing there is a Panarin/Saad deal in the works.

I think there are other pieces...but Panarin is going to CLB and Saad is going back to CHI

Another head scratcher? I like Saad but there's a 20-point difference between those two players. Obviously need to see what else is involved.

Both have a $6mil cap hit. Saad's signed for 4 more years while Panarin just 2.

Goalie Anton Forsberg and a 5th go to the Hawks as well, with Tyler Motte and a 6th also going to CLB.

Also, what is happening?!??!

Lol

This reminds me when Nonis brought back Frattin. Sorta. Complete panic move.

Hear come the puns

It's all right

Hawks maybe worried about Panarin's next contract?  Seems a little premature, but they get two additional years with Saad.

I mean they probably could have kept him in the first place if those two just didn't cripple Chicago's cap structure.

Absolutely. Oh the cap will go up, so it won't be a big deal. Haha.

Euros out, North Americans in... did they hire Don Cherry?

I thought Panarin was Asian...
