Hawks Trade for Marko Dano, or "Hawks Fail to Re-sign Saad"

I guess this is no longer news by the time it reaches me in the Pacific Time Zone, but here's the break down of events:
- Brandon Saad's camp request 5 or 6 years, reportedly, at $6.5 mil per.  It may to safe-ish to say that $4.5 or $5 mil was kind of an expected figure.
- Stan Bowman drinks three bottles of Pepto Bismol and still vomits his breakfast into his top desk drawer.
- Stan then pulls off a cunning trade with Columbus, who are now stuck with:
      * Saad, who will amount to nothing, as we all know.
      * Michael Paliotta, D, likely 1-2 years away from regular NHL duty. NHL duty in Chicago, anyway.
      * Alex Broadhurst, F, a middling AHL forward and a push to make the NHL.

In return, The Hawks run off with:
      * Artem Anisimov, C, a 3rd or 4th line guy in Columbus who, if matched with the correct wingers, could be useful offensively.  He's been a 40-point-a-year guy in his six year NHL career.  Not sure how he does on faceoffs.  Anyone?
      * Marko Dano, F, who notched 21 points in a mere 35 games on a pretty mediocre Blue Jackets club.  Line this kid up with Hossa and let the Master & Grasshopper jokes commence. This is the best part of this deal, for me.  Saad is and will continue to be great, but that's done with and he should not trouble us for a few years, yet, in Columbus.  Dano is smallish but clearly very, very skilled and, I think, could potentially slot in on any of The Hawks four lines.
       * Jeremy Morin, F, hilariously back to Chicago for his 19th attempt to make The Hawks.  I don't what this kid did in a former life but it had to have been evil on Hitler or Walt Disney levels, 'cos he's suffering in this life.
       * Corey Tropp, F, of little use or consequence unless Quenneville desires grit or whatever they call it when players aren't very good at anything except being frightening.

So, perhaps I'm just being ridiculously optimistic, but this doesn't look that bad.  Believe me, I'll miss Saad; there doesn't appear to be anyone on the farm who is anywhere near ready to fill the gap he leaves. I'll reiterate that I think Dano is a great add and, as a possible side effect of today's adventure, maybe, just maybe The Hawks will be able to keep Sharp in the fold.  Wouldn't that be nice?
