It’s a bit ridiculous bold never and then follow it up by saying except for the most recent season.One meh year and people are against this deal?
.917% regular season save % even after this down year and .911% in the playoffs.
He has never had a under .914% season in the NHL before this year.
Goalies age like wine usually, just ask Rinne & Bob or many others.
Lmao that's the jokeRocket surgery...? Don't you mean science...rocket science..

I see this as a similiar situation as it was with Rinne & Saros.In better circumstances, this is a tremendous deal for Nashville but when you consider they have a former 11th overall pick they spent on the position + they're absurdly lacking up front you then realize how bad this deal is (the AAV is actually terrific tbf). With or without Saros, they're a middling team.
Exactly, Saros or not we are still a bubble team. The only way this makes sense is if Trotz unloads picks and prospects and grabs everything he can to try and win now.In better circumstances, this is a tremendous deal for Nashville but when you consider they have a former 11th overall pick they spent on the position + they're absurdly lacking up front you then realize how bad this deal is (the AAV is actually terrific tbf).

Well since we drafted Fiala, we drafted Trenin, Novak, Richard, Carrier and Vejmelka in the same draft without a 1st, Fabbro and Girard back to back, Tolvanen, Stastny in the 5th, Parssinen in the 7th, and Evangelista in the 2nd. So yes, we're good at drafting.Who's the last great player Nashville even drafted? Kevin Fiala 10 years ago?
The people here have the memory and attention span of a moth, he was 4th, 3rd and 6th in Vezina voting the last three years.One meh year and people are against this deal?

Why are we trading our best prospect for random dog shit again?Too many years ?
Askarov for a late 1st?
The difference is Rinne's 7 year deal ended just as Saros made the move to take over the starting job. From there we signed Rinne to 1 and 2 year deals at a lower AAV. Saros will be half way through his deal roughly when Askarov should be ready to take over. If Askarov isn't ready by then he is a bust and we have bigger issues because we have squat else in the pipeline goalie wise.I see this as a similiar situation as it was with Rinne & Saros.
Saros was drafted 2013 and got the starting duty 2020.
Askarov's gonna backup Saros and once Saros gets on his final years of the contract, he'll be the backup for Askarov. Or they play 1A & 1B.
Worked pretty well in the past, so why wouldn't it now?

Even in this down year he was still 1st in the league in shots against and saves. When Nashville fix their defense I'm sure he'll rebound.

Wanna bet it’s both not too early to drink and he’s gone for that type of return ?Too early to be drinking

Markstrom and Ullmark got that be happy lol
Askarov is blocked unless they say here is the back up job
Of course I did not like Bob’s contract. $10m for a goalie in 2019 was questionable to say the leastSo you must have hated Bob’s contract back in the day..
But somehow I get a feeling you’ll answer differently
A top 3/5 goalie in the game for 7.5/7.7 is damm cheap today, Bob signed a 10Mx7 contract when the cap was way lower
How so? Elite goalie in his prime. It's a million less per year than Helleybuck, sounds about right.
even today, 9M+ on a goalie is too much. It will hurt you somewhere else. It forces you to pass on the better experiences veterans who might ask for 3.5M and instead use vets getting $1MOf course I did not like Bob’s contract. $10m for a goalie in 2019 was questionable to say the least
Good goalies seem to age a bit better than skaters at leastI would never go above 5 yrs on a goalie when thy are approaching 30
was this when he was say 25 id be fine with.
even with skaters, i loathe giving 7+ contracts to those in their UFA yrs/late 20s. The only exception would be the true ticket driving stars like Crosby, McDavid
players fall of a cliff when they hit their early to mid 30s. For every Crosby their are 50+other players who dont meet their contract $$. Sure you have Thortons and Perrys who stay around on low contracts so the ROI is worth it.

Saros is not Rinne, I have zero confidence he will age anywhere nearly as well as Rinne did.
Wonder if this contract winds up capping Shesterkin at under 10AAV, depending on term.
And UllmarkSwayman and Shesterkin contracts will be very interesting, also pretty sure Friedman said that Saros took less to stay in Nashville while we've heard the opposite with the NYR talks
Unlikely. When an extension comes with a NMC the clause can be made retroactive into the previous contract, and almost always is.The interesting part to this is that his no-move clause will likely not kick in until next season, meaning they could still trade him within the year.
Blocked? He's still in the AHL. He's not even a backup yet.Wanna bet it’s both not too early to drink and he’s gone for that type of return ?
