Edmonton Oilers: Five Avalanche Free Agents To Consider Signing
By Jim Lynch
2. Brandon Saad
Brandon Saad proved he can still be that guy for a team. After a rough go with the Blackhawks, Saad showed why he was worth six million dollars in the first place scoring seven goals during the playoffs this postseason.
Saad is someone any team would be lucky to have, and I do not think he is going to be asking for too much of a pay raise after putting up just 24 points in 44 games. Maybe Edmonton should bring Saad to their team and let him play on the top line and on the third line to help space out the depth within the lineup.
We have seen Saad score clutch goals time and time again during the playoffs. Edmonton could use his physical strong frame to drive the net night in and night out.
