Saad netted his first goal of the year Tuesday, opening the scoring in Tuesday's overtime loss in Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

He'd picked up just one assist in the first four games If you can capitalize on Saad's slow start to pick him up via trade, do it -- we're talking about a supremely talented sniper who's at the center of just about everything the Blue Jackets do on offense. His power-play time has been thin early on, but has more to do with the team not drawing many penalties so far (10 man-advantage chances in five games) than any shortcoming of Saad's.
