What is it? The value. Or just that it is Mitts in the deal.
BOTH
1- we are pretty unlikely to trade Mitts
2- even more unlikely to move him for a goalie, especially not for one who likely demands a big contract after next season-
the 1st year of which starts when he’s 30 years old. That just isn’t a guy we’d wanna sign to the long term deal he’d demand anyways
3- is Saros even better than UPL moving forward?
UPL has been playing quite well & has a better save% than him this season- .910 to .903
Saros is clearly having a down season- is it a fluke that he bounces back from? Or the start of his decline?
It’s just WAY too risky to sign Saros long term
And that’s just WAY too much to give up for someone who is that risky to keep around for more than the 1 year he has left on his deal
Now, if Saros were to come SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER,
then an argument can be made that he’s worth the risk
Maybe something more like a prospect or Krebs & a pick instead of Mitts & UPL would make A LOT more sense for us ?
Would that work for the Preds though?
Obviously i have no clue
But i just don’t think we could risk overpaying to take on such a risk- not to mention the increased Cap Space Saros takes up
