Saad posted 26 goals and 16 assists across 82 games during the 2023-24 campaign.
EDGE Analysis
Saad's goal total was his most since collecting 31 during the 2015-16 season with the Blue Jackets. The 31-year-old handled a middle-six role with the Blues this year along with consistent power-play time, and he'll carry similar duties next season. Saad has two years left on his contract, which carries a manageable $4.5 million yearly cap hit.

Saad garnered an assist in Sunday's 4-1 victory against the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Saad is still stuck in a five-game goal drought dating back to April 4 versus Nashville. During that stretch, the 31-year-old winger has generated two helpers and nine shots on goal. The Blues have just one game remaining this season, so Saad won't be setting any new career highs, though he did get back over the 40-point threshold with 26 goals and 16 assists over 81 contests after recording 37 points in 71 games last year.

His recent scoring surge has salvaged another middling campaign -- he's up to 26 tallies, 40 points, 130 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 76 appearances on the year.

Saad scored an empty-net goal on his lone shot during Thursday's 6-3 win over Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Empty net or not, that goal snapped a seven-game stretch without a point for Saad. While this season's 16.1 shooting percentage is above his career average, his lack of shots is concerning. This is only the third time in his career he's averaged less than 2.02 shots per game. In his last 20 games, he's averaging just 1.2 shots per tilt and has been held without a single shot six times.
