Rumor: Juuse Saros Signs 8 Year / $7.74 AAV Contract

[glenngineer]

I'd love Clarke, but he's like Nemec in NJ, doubt they move him for Saros. I think a top 10 pick is the best we can get for him tbh.

I’d be ok with that. Funny that we probably get more out of the Jeannot trade than Saros.

 

[ShagDaddy]

if they trade Saros, it should be for a player that can contribute now and get better over the next few years. It doesn’t need to be for a pick that may or may not contribute three to four years down the road. Forward or Defender, doesn’t matter just needs to upgrade one of the units considerably next year.

 

[ShagDaddy]

I’d also add that I hope they trade Saros so we don’t have to listen to the idiots yelling “YOU SEE” during the national anthem.

There are enough teams in need of a starting calibre goalie that getting a roster calibre player over a draft pick/or a recently drafted player is more ideal.

 

[Armourboy]

Any team looking to get Saros is going to be looking towards the playoffs so I think it's going to be real hard to get a decent roster player for him.

If we could get NJs 2024 1st and Casey, id might be ok with that. Casey may be smaller but he is one heck of a puck mover

That'd be a great haul.

Probably have to send our first back to NJ

 

[Armourboy]

It’s Holtz + a 2nd

Like I said, he's not taking a 2nd unless he has no other option.

 

[hido]

Trade him. Askarov looks ready!!

 

[schmiedi]

Trade him. Askarov looks ready!!

Askarov shows in the AHL Playoff what he really is, he isnt ready now, and I doubt he will ever be as good as Saros.

 

[Kat Predator]

Trade him. Askarov looks ready!!

Ours is a meritocracy system. 200%. Trade Saros for some forwards so we can overcook some more draft picks now!

 

[PredsV82]

Trade him. Askarov looks ready!!

Between him and L'Heureux we should definitely have people talking

 

[herzausstein]

Askarov shows in the AHL Playoff what he really is, he isnt ready now, and I doubt he will ever be as good as Saros.

That .900 sv% from saros looks rather dominant this year and that improved a fair amount with the last 2 games

.859 sv% the first 4 games
.959 sv% the last 2 games

Saros + Glass could get you a decent return

 

[Scoresberg]

Saros + Glass could get you a decent return

Don't believe Glass has any value at this point anymore.

 

[Armourboy]

Don't believe Glass has any value at this point anymore.

If Glass has value you better move him to whoever thinks he has it because Brunette called a guy up rather than giving Glass a shot in the playoffs.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Glass won't get us anything, for sure. The best we can do is roll him back out there next season, fingers crossed that he has some kind of come-to-Jesus moment this summer, because if he doesn't then his NHL career is going to evaporate before he knows it. Good for him that he got his $5M on the strength of the previous year + our desperation for a center, at least. If he can't re-invent some parts of his game, it's going to be Switzerland for him a couple years probably.

I think we're seeing in these playoffs that we don't have any real choice but to keep the status quo in goal for at least another year. There shouldn't be any pressure to make a move until we can be confident that we have the position secured for the long haul.

 

[ShagDaddy]

More teams will be willing to make hockey trades and n the offseason than at the TDL. If they’re going to trade him, they should do it the draft or before expanding the number of teams they can deal with.

 

[herzausstein]

Between him and L'Heureux we should definitely have people talking

Are you not entertained? If nothing else you can send McCarron behind the net to run a goalie or two.

 

[BigFatCat999]

Saros + Glass could get you a decent return

A Marner like return?

McCarron + Happy +another forward Lauzon + another d-man and Askarov

We need a Tkachuk and Zadorov
L'Heureux McCarron Tkachuk
Lazuon Zadorov
Askarov

Just ice it a few times for the laughs

 

[predwings]

Glass doesn't have any value

Saros has value but not as much as people think.

We're gonna have to draft and trade with some swagger and hope those pan out sooner rather than later.

 

[predwings]

Askarov shows in the AHL Playoff what he really is, he isnt ready now, and I doubt he will ever be as good as Saros.

Let's see how the series plays out, he just had 2 away games. Might go 3-0 at home for all you know.

 

[Kat Predator]

If Glass has value you better move him to whoever thinks he has it because Brunette called a guy up rather than giving Glass a shot in the playoffs.

Brunette indicated in that postmortem that he's only going to play guys who play with sandpaper and grit. He wants guys who'll play that physical style of game. Which isn't really very different than what Hynes wanted. Skilled players need not apply. (Looking at you Connor Bedard.)

Explains why they wanted Duchene gone so badly, and why Glass, Tomasino, and Fabbro are likely to be traded/dumped soon.
