A pivotal moment in the NHL Playoffs returns to the forefront tonight as the Chicago Blackhawks face off against the Edmonton Oilers. At the center of the drama is a trade deal that has haunted Chicago's General Manager Stan Bowman for years, and tonight's game may be his last chance to redeem himself. The trade in question involves forward Brandon Saad, who was dealt to Columbus in 2015, only to have the Blackhawks later sign him to a massive contract. Tonight's matchup will see Saad face off against his former team, and a Blackhawks victory could silence critics who have long questioned Bowman's decision-making.
