Makes zero sense for Nashville.Nylander for Saros.

And why are we trading our Vezina caliber goalie in his prime for a random late first and a prospect?Nashville will trade Saros at the deadline because they are not making the playoffs. They will get something like a late 1st round pick and a prospect because this is for a rental. One of the things they will not be getting is a 24 year old top pairing dman. He doesn't need to be Chris Pronger to have tremendous value. An 80 point player who earns 4 million a year is money.
I think he gets traded for the usual reasons that sellers have. He's on an expiring contract, they have a replacement in the pipeline, he may not resign if he wants to win. I think the price will follow historical trends of what other high end rental players get. I don't think Edmonton will put in the best offer but you never know as Nashville and Edmonton talk on the regular.And why are we trading our Vezina caliber goalie in his prime for a random late first and a prospect?
Trotz has already said he plans to re-sign Saros when he's able to and we've already had many 1sts in the last several years, plus three seconds this year and two more firsts the next.I think he gets traded for the usual reasons that sellers have.

Hate to break it to you, but he’s not on an expiring contract.I think he gets traded for the usual reasons that sellers have.

I mean technically all contracts expire. He just seems to be accounting for him as a rental 1 year early for some unknown reason.Hate to break it to you, but he’s not on an expiring contract.
Can we not just have fun and discuss hypothetical scenarios?I mean, folks can waste their time imagining that and concocting meaningless trade proposals if they want. Heck, folks probably do come to you guys with McDavid or Draisatl proposals too, given Edmonton's start and their contract status. So that stuff does happen, and folks are welcome to fill their boots dreaming about it. Just you should expect it to be taken with a certain lack of engagement from the other party. This mythology about building by tanking does drive a lot of traffic here, I suppose. Go ahead and keep the dream alive if you really need to.
Bruh we have good kidneys, our kidneys are great, our kindeys are so much better than other kidneys. They hate our kidneys because they are so good. -Future president of your hilarious country.Your Kidney isn't worth more than a conditional 69th round pick in 2071
So 1 person said something and that makes it a fanbase thing?Go look in the Bouchard thread. Someone literally said it. I’m not pulling things out my ass
So you think Saros is worth Drai or Mathews++. Seems crazy to meThis exactly. It will take Drai going the other way to get it done.
Watch a game sometime. Bouchard has a howitzer of a shot and is good at getting it through. Breakout passes and puck handling also great. He will put up lots of points on any teams powerplay unless that team has no talent at allAre McDrai also involved in this deal to help keep his numbers bloated?
Draisaitl is widely considered as a rental on here. That's the way she goesI mean technically all contracts expire. He just seems to be accounting for him as a rental 1 year early for some unknown reason.
Saros in an Oilers uniform makes them a cup contender instantly.
But what would it take to get Trotz to budge?
My proposition:
To Edmonton:
Saros and fabbro
To Nashville:
Bouchard, 2024 1st round pick, Lavoie
Oilers get one of the best goalies in the league at cost control for two seasons. Plus fabbro to semi replace Bouchard for cup run.
Preds get Bouchard to pair with josi and create maybe the best pair in the league plus two futures for rebuild with lavoie and the late first.
If oilers prefer carrier to fabbro that’s doable.
Thoughts?
Of course they would take it. Bouchard is a great young Dman and his deal ends in RFA status. Saros is a UFA in 1.5 years and the team is going nowhere. They will be selling him for picks next year, of which probably won't be nearly as good as BouchardIf the Preds would actually do that deal, Edmonton should take it and run screaming for the hills.
Does Edmonton get a kiss afterHas anyone mentioned Mrazek to Edmonton from Chicago.
Sure he's had injury issues in the past but this year he is playing lights out with an abysmal team in front of him. Happy to do Mrazek for Bouchard with some minor pluses here or there to satisfy all concerned.
Oh yes! Maybe even a wet one.Does Edmonton get a kiss after
Keep Broberg, Lavoie and Bourgault and throw another 1st in. These 3 might hardly sniff the NHL in the future.2 1sts broberg, lavoie,bourgualt and a 2nd
