The Chicago Blackhawks have involved Brandon Saad in a trade twice in his career. A lot of people have been talking about the second trade that involved Saad, but no one talks about the good one.
After winning his second Stanley Cup in three seasons, Brandon Saad was due for a pay grade. Stan Bowman could see that and knew that it might be best to trade Saad away for something instead of losing him in free agency.
The Blackhawks traded Saad to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Artem Anisimov, Jeremy Morin, Corey Tropp, and Marko Dano.
