brandon saad trade rumors

After another disappointing early exit from the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Penguins are looking to acquire a top six winger. General manager Jim Rutherford has his sights set on Chicago Blackhawks, Brandon Saad. The 22 year old native of Pittsburgh scored 52 points in 82 games this season.

The Penguins decided on Thursday not to resign veteran defensemen Paul Martin and Christian Ehrhoff. Both these players will walk as free agents and the Penguins will get nothing but cap space.

Rutherford is considering a trade for Brandon Saad, and may even resort to an offer sheet to poach Saad.
