The Chicago Blackhawks said all along that Brandon Saad would be back next season. The Stanley Cup champions parted with Saad in a seven-player deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets on the eve of NHL free agency, wary of a big offer sheet for the rugged forward that the Blackhawks would be unable to match with their salary cap situation. The 22-year-old Saad set career highs with 23 goals and 29 assists in 82 games this past season.
