It’s funny how a year ago he was a hot commodity potentially at trade deadline with budding askarov in the wings. Now we have no askarov and Saros has been awful and is tied up at 8x8….

What is his value now with this contract? Is he negative value at this point?
What would your team pay for him? A fourth? What a mess…

I thought he was actually doing pretty good? Like I remember him having elite stats despite Preds losing their first 30 games or whatever
 
Saros is still a good goalie. Probably more like top 10 than top 5 like before. But he still has all the skills and speed he used to so maybe his stats would flip back once he gets out from behind the absolute dumpster fire in front of him in Nashville.

Anyway it’s kind of a moot point now. Trotz isn’t going to trade him, he already made up his mind that Saros was going to be his guy, and that case is closed.

I don’t imagine any other teams will want that contract anyway. With the rising Cap it’s going to be a bit of a bargain for a quality starter as far as AAV goes. But the term is a huge problem. I assume we couldn’t even give Saros away now.

Just have to chalk it up as another big mistake by Trotz.

While I hate the contract and Saros hasn't been greater this season, the team in front of him is making it way worse.

Go look at the starting defensive pairings from lastnight, and then realize Brunette plays one of the dumbest systems you will ever see and then you start to realize that goalie is the least of our problems.

Brunette has a system?
