@FriedgeHNIC reported ... #CBJ and #Blackhawks working in a Brandon Saad for Artemi Panarin
Confirming what @FriedgeHNIC initially reported, Artemi Panarin is going to CBJ for Brandon Saad and other pieces, incl a goalie.

Motte and Forsberg and a pick swap also part of the Saad-Panarin trade

I think Panarin is better as shown below, but Chicago knows he will probably want a raise in two years and they can't afford to do it pic.twitter.com/z6kJpyKHtc

Much like Saad, Artemi Panarin helped make everyone he played with better than when they were not playing with him. This is good. pic.twitter.com/no70FYxnqg

Wonder if acquisition of Panarin is, in any way, a sweetener for Ilya Kovalchuk, who's been discussed by #CBJ. The two were teammates in KHL
