lol. I could take this package as compensation for cap dumping the career backup on a 4x4

even then, nothing in this package is at all enticing aside from the 1st and 2nd which I’m taking as compensation for korpisalo.

Better chance zeitsev gets resigned at 8x8 than OTT trading Pinto, and all of chych, senko and Pinto would command a 1st+ so NYR is severely fleecing OTT here.

Korpisalo can just be bought out.

Schneider is worth a first, Othmann is probably worth a first, Kakko has potential but not much current value, plus we'd be getting an actual first and a second. It's definitely enough.

You’d still need to compensate a team to take on 16m for a goalie they don’t beed. Buyout or not

Well, if the acquiring team bought him out it would only cost $10.6 million but yeah you're right.

You’re right. Why spend assets career top 5 goalies in the NHL when you can sign leftovers in free agency to 4x4? It’s practically free! He definitely won’t post an…. .888……

Nashville declines. All filler no quality

Saros this year is well below average, in fact it is his worst season by far and its not close and all his good season are on one team, zero guarantee he will be any good when he goes to another team.

G are to volatile and unpredictable to have any semblance of value like the other positions, just look at Jack Campbell ffs....

What? Lol. What does him being on Nashville have to do with anything? He's the reason our team even made the playoffs half of those years - or got close to it. We've sucked.

I don't know where the Campbell comparison has come from, everyone knew he was a career backup but the team that signed him. Saros isn't.

You keep your wacky ideas that goalies are only worth 2nd's (that nobody agrees with) and we'll keep our good goalie.

dont know why you using korpi here, sens fans hated the singing and knew he wasn't that good.. just because because dorion is an idiot don't negate that if you spending more than a 2nd your overpaying, why the hell do you think G like saros very very rarely get traded?

1. team don't want to trade them
2. no one is willing to offer high end piece on such a volatile position

OTT and EDM are screwed with bad G on lengthy bad contracts

Athrin is half-right, the Predators can either sign Saros to a massive deal or trade him for 75 cents on the dollar. When was the last time a goalie got a great return in a trade?

Trust me, I disagree with his takes as much as anyone but my point stands about goalies never getting good returns.

Just because teams don't want to trade their good goalies doesn't automatically make their value a second. You just made that up in your own head cannon fantasy world.

You want to pry Saros from Nashville? A 1st+. If not, have a good day. Simple
