Proposal: Trade Juuse Saros

[wmupreds]

An 8 year deal would be a straight up mistake

Love Saros, but I never like the idea of giving goalies 8 year contracts…

 

[BigFatCat999]

Now I wonder if the number one is in play if Askarov is the trade piece

If true, no complaint about the AAV being reported. But 8 years....hate it. No way Askarov sticks around. And we will have Saros until he's almost 40.

f***.

Hope Yaro becomes a Hall of Famer and lights this stupid franchise up every chance he gets.

 

[Scoresberg]

We could’ve had Lundell…

Yep - this is not a good decision at all. It's a massive gamble to assume he'll stay sharp for that long, especially given how unpredictable goalies are. And especially given he didn't look that good in Bruno's system.

No word on a NMC/NTC

Great deal for the price, not a fan of what this could mean for Askarov.

Think we trade him at the draft to move up

 

[Predsanddead24]

I think it’s a pretty fair deal but also hate it for where we are as a team. Well if we’re going to re-sign him this long I hope we go after some big names.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Wouldn't have mattered. Guy would still be puttering around Milwaukee and on the way out due to being a Poile pick.

Not even close lol

I guess I kinda like the cutesy shit with the uniform number in the contract... sorta.

As in first overall? Dude, come on...

 

[glenngineer]

Hate this deal

I don't like that at all. Saros plays 60+ every year, I don't see that changing next year. Even though he really struggled at times last year, he still played 64. Not sure how much Askarov will benefit from spending 80% of a season on the bench

 

[Soundgarden]

Remember we also just brought back Korn. I'm sure Askarov will get some starts in as the years go by.

 

[beardawg]

Not a fan of the term but can't hate the AAV

 

[wmupreds]

Well, presumably Saros will be the clear #1 next year. But if the plan is for it to become a real "tandem" over the next few years, an 8x7.75 doesn't sound that great on that front either.

We also don't know what the cap or the goalie market is gonna look like in 3-5-7 years. If Saros is playing high quality hockey and Edmonton still hasn't gotten Mcdavid a cup or whatever maybe they offer a something great.

You know it's a great deal when you're already exit planning within an hour of the news dropping
