Description

About Panthers:
1) Florida get rid of 10m goalie, which let more cap flexibility. For example - for re-sign Reinhart.
2) In my opinion Saros will be better next season than Bob anyway. So it is goalie upgrade.
3) FLA get decent LD prospect.
4) FLA get solid RW. I think Tomasino is a good player, and he need a change of scenario asap.
----
About Preds:
1) Nashville finally received their top line center of the future.
Lundell best season was under Brunette. Also Preds have Kemell and Pärssinen as perfect wingers and countryman's for Lundell. I think it is 100% fit.
2) Nashville received a mentor for Askarov and probably his future backup.

P.S. Saros can sign an extension immediately. However I think it will be better to see if he or Knight is the future goalie of Panthers. After this "duel" one of them can be traded for the nice assets.
P.S. P.S I even think that Preds can add something else. Like mid lvl prospect or 2nd/3rd round pick(s).

Do not think so.
Lundell can be lethal in Brunette system.
That's all what we need.
We don't need two elite goalies.
We don't need so many RHF, as well as LHD(Stasney, Josi, Lauzon, Molendyk...more than enough).
So if I am GMBT I would do the trade for Lundell in any day.

Not enough going back to NSH. They can do much better in a Saros trade while not adding an aging $10m goalie signed for two more seasons

The problem is no one knows what Lundell’s ceiling is anymore. I thought he was gonna be a 2 way 1C who’s probably Larkin level but now he looks like a middle 6 centre

Brunette definitely will find the key)
Yeah, I am too optimistic about him)
