Brandon Saad - Page 4 - NHL News & Rumors

Provides helper Saturday Saad logged an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.

Impact Saad has two points and 10 shots over four contests since he signed with Vegas following a mutual contract termination with St. Louis. The 32-year-old has settled onto the Golden Knights' third line, playing alongside Brett Howden and Mark Stone in the absence of William Karlsson (lower body). Saad has 18 points, 85 shots and a minus-15 rating over 47 appearances this season. He has scoring potential, but he's a risky option in fantasy since he doesn't add much else if his offense goes cold.

First goal with new team Saad scored a goal Tuesday in a 2-1 loss to the Islanders.

Impact It was Saad's first goal as a member of the Golden Knights. He slotted onto the third line in his new home, and that means a plum gig with Mark Stone on his other wing. That's a nice landing spot for a guy the Blues deemed expendable a few days ago. Saad may provide real value to fantasy managers in deep formats who pluck him off the wire.

The Vegas Golden Knights have signed Brandon Saad to a contract for the remainder of the NHL season

JANUARY 31, 2025 • Associated Press

Signs with Golden Knights Saad inked a one-year contract with Vegas on Friday.

Impact Saad had plenty of teams interested in his services after he and the Blues agreed to terminate his contract after he passed through unconditional waivers. Saad had seven goals and 16 points in 40 games with the Blues this season and has hit the 20-plus goal mark on seven occasions during his NHL career. Saad is expected to be a middle-six forward the rest of the season with the Golden Knights.

Waived unconditionally Saad was placed on unconditional waiver by the Blues on Wednesday for the purpose of terminating his contract.

Impact Saad went unclaimed on regular waivers Tuesday but has agreed to be waived unconditionally to avoid having to head down to the minors. The Blues will save the entirety of Saad's $4.5 million cap hit while the veteran winger will be free to sign with any NHL team as a free agent. Considering he went unclaimed Tuesday, there is no reason to expect him to be claimed Wednesday either.

NHL Waivers: St. Louis Blues Place Brandon Saad On The Wire St. Louis Blues placed Brandon Saad on NHL waivers. The left winger has one more year left on his contract with a $4.5-million cap hit.

JANUARY 28, 2025 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Placed on waivers Tuesday Saad was placed on waivers Tuesday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

Impact Saad will report to AHL Springfield if he goes unclaimed on the waiver wire. The left-shot winger has one year remaining on the five-year, $22.5 million contract that he signed with the Blues in July of 2021. Saad's $4.5 million cap hit is a major factor -- most NHL clubs will not be able to take on that kind of money at this point in the season. The 32-year-old has amassed 260 goals and 515 points across 906 career NHL appearances.

Earns assist in 900th career game Saad picked up an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact This was Saad's 900th career game, and he was able to celebrate with a helper on a Pavel Buchnevich tally in the second period. The 32-year-old Saad has five points over his last four games. He's breaking out of a rough first half of the campaign, but there's no guarantee he'll be able to maintain his recent success. For the season, the winger has 15 points, 59 shots on net and a minus-9 rating across 37 appearances.

Natural hat trick in win Saad scored three goals on six shots in Friday's 4-0 win over the Senators.

Impact Saad has scored in just three games this season, but each of those performances have included multiple goals. He scored once in each period Friday, netting the Blues' last three tallies to complete the natural hat trick. Saad had gone 10 games without a point prior to Friday, and he was scratched three times in that span, so he really needed a game like this. He's at seven goals, 13 points, 52 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 34 appearances this season. It's too soon to tell if this will be the effort that jump-starts his offense.

Impact Saad helped out on Robert Thomas' empty-net goal in the third period. This was Saad's second helper in the last three games, which follows a six-game slump for the winger. The 32-year-old has not been very effective on offense with 10 points, 38 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 23 appearances, and he's added next to nothing in physicality.
