Value of: Juuse Saros at max retention

[Flgatorguy87]

I hate that this is even a potential idea, but it's worth exploring. What type of return would Saros command if we used our last retention spot on him?

To his new team he'd be due 3m and then 2.5m over the next 2 years.

I am not fully committed to rolling over and and letting the buzzards pick away all the good pieces yet, but it kinda feels like we are getting close as a team.

Done if Nashville agreed to it.

Done if Nashville agreed to it.

I actually like this if we embrace a full rebuild. Our board would riot. I would still hold out looking for a more singular piece for Saros, but at the end of the day we can't make a deal that doesn't exist. The change from Saros to Campbell has to be damn near 15 wins alone.

Nashville should look at the Ducks and at the value of an elite goalie during a tank/rebuild.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Id give most everything left in the Penguins very meager prospect pool

 

[Taluss]

I think there would be a ton of teams interested. The way Nashville seems to be going Id entertain it

 

[Daximus]

Would love Saros on the Jets. Not sure how keen Nashville would be to trade him in division. He may not stick around long term but would be a great mentor for Milic.

 

[BB88]

Saros at 50% would be one of the most valuable assets in the league.

Nashville should do it

There's no long-term 1st line center in there. Broberg was a nice idea when it meant trading Ekholm. But that ship has sailed. I'm still not onboard with trading Saros for anything but the most supreme future #1C. And that's not going to get offered by anybody. So I'm not trading Saros. Period.

If the idea is to burn it to the ground, Saros probably needs to be moved, because he'd win us too many games I'm staying out of valuing the proposed deals, because I'm so out of touch with other teams' prospects and their projections, but I tend to agree.

If we don't deal him we're probably not picking as high as we'd hope. In that regard, taking any good deal might be the play.

 

[GMlizard]

Makes perfect sense to do this and go with lankinen askarov. Take a cap dump as well and the return would be great. Murray, campbell, granlund back or similar. Carolina?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

if Saros was really available, NJ should be ALL OVER it.

How about this :

To Buffalo:
Saros (50% retained)


To nashville:
Kulich

Nashville line up en el futura:

Parsinnen-Glass-Trenin
Sherwood-sissons-jank

I'd love Saros on the Leafs but we don't have the futures or picks to land him especially at 50% retained.

I feel like Mercer is one of the few times an opposing fan has actually proposed an "ouch that would hurt" player to us. So kudos for that!

I still wouldn't take it, though, since I'm hard-core on wanting a real #1C candidate. Mercer is the best name I've ever heard offered so far, however.

Yea he's not speaking for all of us

And... the Preds would still reject it. So hopefully that paints a picture of how impossible it would be to get Saros.

I don't know if you'll get a #1C back. That's going to be tough to find the right trading partner. Very narrow selection.

I'd just trade him for the biggest haul you can get. More assets the better. Fill the cupboards. Then finish bottom of the league and nab another good player. Maybe a 1C who knows.

I am 99.99% sure we will never get that. And I'm fine with it. The thing people don't seem to quite understand is that Saros is hands-down our Best Player. He's the difference-maker on our team already. He's the guy who steals games. There's just no reason to give him up for a few magic beans. If we can't get a player who can at least potentially have that level of impact on the game, then it's not worth it.

I think our cupboards are already full. Just with with a bunch of "everything else"... besides the bluechip franchise #1C. That's the unicorn we're stalking. But what Trotz will eventually have to realize is that you can't catch a unicorn. You have to wait and let it come to you. Whenever IT wants to. It's not a thing that can be forced.

That’s awful dude, coming from a Sabres fan. Nashville don’t answer our calls no more if we offer that, think it’s a prank or somethin.
