You could take oilers off campbell having to go the other way would most likely be the deal killer

As a Sabres fan, I’d do it for a 1st
Idk that I’d give up too much beyond that though
Not as far as premium pieces go

A top 5 goalie in the league is costing 2 1sts and some prospects

If it’s Edmonton it’s one of Holloway or Broberg and Bourgault with a 1st.

Yawn
That’s just a guess. Just bc you’re a homer who thinks goalies have great trade value, doesn’t make your guess correct

It’s not like there’s a long history of goalies being traded for the kinds of packages u think you’ll get

Lmk if i can borrow your crystal ball sometime though

Or that you’re playing the card that goalies have little value when the majority of goalie that are on the market are either back ups or struggling goalies. Not many top goalies come available. When was the last time a top 5 vezina worthy goalie playing in his prime playing under a great contract for 2 more years come available?

You show me some trade packages for a top 5 Vezina goalie that is still under contract for 2 years with a very team friendly cap hit in his prime. Honestly the leafs aren’t the best team for the preds as trade partners.
Also David Poile probably values Saros higher than anyone can imagine. It would take an absolutely incredible package for him to trade Saros.

That's too steep. I like Saros but Edmonton has Skinner stepping into the starter role so they aren't going to overpay.

Not to be combative, but the only comparable in recent memory is Schneider. And it’s not a great comparable either. Great stats, better then JS for 3 years, and large enough sample sizes on a yearly basis, but he was a “backup” Only one year on his contract favorable contract, Traded as 26 year old vs JS being 27.

Again, not a perfect comparable, few pros each way, but only one I can think of. Traded for pick 9 in an ok draft.

Again, not trying to argue and I think the point all around is no one actually knows goalies values.

Schneider as you was a backup. He was good as back up but so was saros. Backups play the weaker opponents on back to back and during the season so stats will look better for good backups. He ended up turning into a great goalie but after the trade is when he became a started. I’m not on the boat with saros will get 2 1st rounders and a top prospect plus. But I do think he can get a top notch prospect and a high pick depending on the how elite the prospect is. I think a team that is dire need of a goalie like these teams should look into it. Because saros is that good. Without saros Nashville would be a bottom 3-5 team and he would turn a bubble team into a legit contender. La New Jersey and buffalo are teams that have the right prospects to make a play for saros. It’s all a mute point because Poile or trotz ain’t selling which is the wrong move I think

Excellent and thoughtful comments,
Schneider is a good example as his last year he was #1 GK and continued to perform well for 3 more years.
With that in mind not all first are created equal.
Only BUF would probably be comparable to '13 9th OA, all of the others would need to add as the picks are from '24 or very late '23.

BTW this TDL NSH added two former first round picks Foote, Schaefer, Barrie, 2 firsts, 2 seconds, third, 2 fourths, fifth that is a great return for a team not selling

Cory Shneider is the closest one that comes to mind for a pretty good goalie to come available

Ya for a team not selling its big pieces I agree that is an incredible return because it is obvious next year you flip Barrie as well

Yeah, i KNOW that goalies like Saros rarely get traded

The DIFFERENCE between me & you guys is that I’M NOT PRETENDING TO KNOW what he would get traded for

All i said is what i would trade for him
And NONE OF US have a clue if that would be enough or not

Ain’t selling saros is what I meant lol
