NSH is going to want a lot more than Saros. Neither of the pieces really stick out, nor do the picks. Chromiak is interesting given his breakout year last year, but NSH already has a really deep pool at RW (Kemell, Wood, Evangalista, and Tomasino) and Spence would be just another piece in the logjam that is defense prospects in the NSH system. The picks are not even close. NSH will want at least 1 first in the return, if not 2 depending on the piece that is coming back.
Saros is a top 5 goalie and is consistently high in Vezina voting all while on a team where he is dragging them kicking and screaming into some form of playoff contention.
While I don't see NSH moving Saros, if they were, what NSH needs the most is center prospects and top tier ones, as that is where they are the weakest. In my mind a deal that would get NSH to potentially move Saros would look like Byfield, a 1st, and 2nd for Saros. Would entertain retaining some on Saros as well, but again I don't see it happening.
