Bergren is a fine piece coming back but the rest is meh? Yeah we’re getting a first, but it’s a first in 2026. The player we draft with that wouldn’t be playing with us until 2027 or 2028.

This is a very good package, idk how you could be doubting this at all especially if its for a goalie... look at the value teams are scoffing at for Helle.... take this and run!

Teams arent scoffing at the Helle return, fans are. And that’s likely because Helle is an expiring UFA and is reportedly asking for 8-9m+ on his next contract. He shot himself and Winnipeg in the foot with that one.

Saros has two seasons left, and is arguably better than Hellebuyck. He also didn’t say anything (yet, at least) about wanting a massive paycheque for his next deal. This package is meh. Berggren is the only really exciting piece coming back. The 2026 first is irrelevant to our needs as it’s 3 draft classes away, Veleno is a 4C and Buium isn’t great, but he’s fine I guess. I don’t hold Husso having a lot of value here because he needs to come back to make it work and we’re essentially just downgrading between the pipes.

Stevie Y isn’t going to move the pieces Nashville would want in return for Saros. But, Rob Blake almost
did. This doesn’t work for either team.

Couldn't agree with this more.
