Reminds me of the Flames reacquiring Conroy hoping they can rekindle past success. Hawks are still a really good team but I'm not buying that Panarin over Saad is the reason they have been eliminated in the first round two years in a row. I can understand why they did it but to me it's a little knee jerk. Pavel Datsyuk was horrible (played scared) in the playoffs in successive seasons against the Flames in 2004 and Oilers in 2006 but the Wings were rewarded for their patience.
