Honestly, if he continues to develop, I would compare him to Hossa.

Just asking, what was everyone's reactions when we drafted Saad?
I remember I absolutely did not want him in the first round. His game had fallen off in the 2nd half of that year (turns out it was a groin, eh?). But when we picked him at #43 I was ecstatic...that' s a gamble well worth taking. As I recall from the draft GDT we had going, everyone liked that pick.
