[Trade] Panthers trade Ian McCoshen to Blackhawks for Aleksi Saarela


Recommended Posts

Man. Saarela on his 4th organization already, and he’s only 22.
 

In his second full season in the AHL last year, he put up 54 points in 69 games (30 goals). He has the offensive tools and owns a wicked wrist shot. I remember hearing rumblings about him when he was 15 years old. Scouts had him pegged at the time as a future top 10 pick. Ended up going in the 3rd round, due in large part to a very public rift he had with his coach in his draft year.

 

One has to wonder how much longer he’ll be given a shot in NA.
