Saw on the main trade board that Parssinen is most likely being made available by Nashville. His situation with the Predators sounds very similar to Fabbro and Tomasino recently, where they have a young player who has shown some promise and potential in the past but is not being given consistent playing opportunity by their coach.
Given how many significant futures we traded away in recent years, most notably with our DeBrincat and Chychrun ventures, this is the type of move that I would love to see us being interested in making. I assume that the cost would be similar to the Tomasino trade - likely around a 2026 5th or 2027 4th type of value.
It would give us a young asset (23 years old) that would not be expensive to acquire, easy to fit to our cap structure ($775k for this season then RFA), and who has shown that he can play a role in the middle six with decent production (produced at a 30-35 pts pace over his career so far). If my assumption is not far off on the acquisition cost, I'd love to see this kind of move to add depth while also adding an nhl calibre role player that fits with the timeline of our core. It would be low risk/medium reward IMO.
