O'Rielly vs Saad (more this year)

[znith]

(First team in sig)
Just dropped Saad to pick up O'rielly...who in preseason is playing with Duchene and Parentau, while the Hawks can't figure out where to play Saad.

Where do you see Saad slotting into the hawks lineup? Who would you choose and why?

I would choose ROR for the reasons you mentioned. Top line with Duchene and PA vs uncertainty that includes Saad possibly playing third line.

Colorado seems to be going with pairs in pre-season;

Duchene, O'Rielly
MacKinnon, Parenteau
Stastny, Landeskog

Regardless, at the end of the day, O'Rielly seems to be playing with the better Cman, and he would be my choice here.
