LW, Brandon Saad signed with Columbus Blue Jackets, six-year, $36 million ($6 million per year)
Acquired in a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Saad is coming off a Stanley Cup championship and probably was somewhere with the Cup when he got word. He has two things going for him: he’s young and he’s young.
Saad is only 22-years old. He hasn’t even touched his prime years yet and has been top of the mountain, twice. He’s joining a young but seasoned group of players in Columbus that were showing signs of promise near the end of last season, if it were not for injuries. Expect to see Saad, again.
