Saros to LAK

I think that 2025 pick needs to atleast be a conditional (win 2 rounds it becomes a 1st) or something

I think that's reasonable. I was thinking maybe another prospect but I can't see LA moving someone like Spence without a LD coming back

Honestly, I don't see either team interested in this.

Trotz was quoted as saying to Saros that he's not going to consider trading him unless a "franchise altering player" that's "too good to pass up" is offered in return. Nothing like that is going to Nashville here.

It makes no sense for LA to give up a Kings' ransom for Saros now. They're not able to negotiate an extension until July 1, and paying a huge haul before then gives Saros' camp a ton of leverage in contract negotiations, just like it did last year for Gavrikov. Blake couldn't afford to let Gavrikov walk after giving up a 1st round pick for a rental, so Gavrikov took him to the cleaners and extorted an extra $1M AAV out of the Kings because he knew Blake would pay whatever he wanted. Saros could tell Blake that he wants the Bobrovsky contract, otherwise he's going to test UFA.

Any deal for Saros won't happen until July 1, and will either be for a return suitable for 1 year of a quality goaltender (i.e. significantly less than the reported asking price), or with a signed extension in place at the time of the trade.

The picks aren't enough value, and I don't see NSH having much interest in any of those players. They aren't going to looking to add depth wingers, when they've got Tomasino, Evangelista, Pärssinen, Kemell, L'Heureux, Schaeffer, Afanasyev etc., all vying for roster spots now and in the near future.

Can you link where Trotz said that? I also said that this probably isn't enough for Nashville in my description.

I think you are being pretty unreasonable with your expectations from the LA POV. Even if Saros were to ask for 10M (though I imagine it will be more in like with the Hellebuyck deal) it's the exact same year that the Gavrikov contract comes off the books.
