Saigeon, previously with the Wichita Thunder, appeared in 11 games last season, following his mid-season trade from the Kalamazoo Wings.
Over 87 games with the Wings, he accumulated a respectable 43 points, showcasing his capability and readiness for the step up to the Blackhawks' affiliate, the Fuel.

His tenure in the OHL was marked by significant achievements, including an impressive playoff run where he amassed 25 points in 21 games during the 2017-2018 season, culminating in an OHL championship with the Bulldogs.
Drafted 140th overall by the Colorado Avalanche in 2018, the 26-year-old center has matured through various tiers of competitive hockey, each season adding layers to his game.
His journey through the ECHL has been a testament to his growth and persistence, with stints at multiple clubs honing his skills and competitive edge.
This new chapter with the Blackhawks represents a pivotal moment in Saigeon's career.
His experience and proven track record in clutch playoff scenarios will be invaluable as the Blackhawks look to inject grit and skill into their lineup.
