PITTSBURGH (SPORTSRADIO 93-7 THE FAN) — Blackhawks first line winger Brandon Saad joined Seibel, Starkey and Miller to talk about getting drafted this year, and already getting an opportunity to play on the Blackhawks’ top line.
Saad said in his wildest dreams he didn’t expect to already by playing in the NHL, and is so grateful to get this opportunity now.
One benefit of already being in the NHL according to Brandon is that he doesn’t have to wake up for those 5 a.m. practices anymore like he did before going pro.
