Our local hockey team made a big trade for a goal scorer, as they have been saying they wanted to do. It came at the expense of sending Brandon Saad back to Chicago. I am saad to see him go (had to do it) but I do like this trade for the CBJ.
According to multiple reports, the Blue Jackets are trading Brandon Saad to the #Blackhawks for Artemi Panarin. pic.twitter.com/IGY5QR86zm
