It’s interesting, I wonder since we have Zadorov who might extend for cheap whether we need Bahl though

Perhaps swapping him out for Jesper Boqvist or Seamus Casey and Nolan Foote or Reilly Walsh out for the 3rd would make more sense.

I’d also like to swap Lazar for Rooney at the same time

I think, as a NSH fan, I would take that for Saros.

You're not qualifying Blackwood anyway so you won't likely get anything for him although the value is about right considering.

Cole Smith isn’t a throw in to any deal. He’s an 82-game player, can’t have him leaving the team!

In all seriousness, there’s good value for Saros here. However, I can’t see the Preds trading him
