Blackhawks forward Brandon Saad will be a restricted free agent after next season and is due for a huge raise to the $764,167 he's making on his entry-level contract. Saad said there have been no talks about an extension yet. ''If it happens, great,'' he said. ''It's always nice to have that security and feel comfortable that you've re-signed. But I'm more focused on having a good year and contributing to the team. All that stuff will take care of itself.'' General manager Stan Bowman said that ''it's been a busy time for us'' and that Saad's situation will be addressed eventually. ''The exciting thing for all of us is that he just keeps getting better,'' Bowman said. ''We certainly haven't seen the best of Brandon Saad yet.'' Saad had 19 goals and 28 assists in 78 games for Chicago last season.
