OTT has no core

So there

Saros is arguably the best player and he has the worst return...

Timmy, Brady and Sanderson is pretty solid man, come on. Arguably a better core than the Blues too tbh.

Nashville doesn't need goalies, so sending two back doesn't make a whole lot of sense for either side. Korpisalo is a negative asset, so factor that in. All that adds up to not enough for Saros. No matter how everyone else feels on this site, even with his down season, Saros will either return an NHL caliber player, a top prospect, and a couple of firsts, or he simply won't be moving until the draft or next season. Trotz only has a a couple of players on his roster that are game changers. Saros being one of those pieces, needs to return a game changing piece to be moved early.

NSH declines. Korpisalo makes this a complete non-starter unless you want to pay for both Saros and for NSH to take on Korpisalo, which has not been done here.

dont see AZ risking it on norris, that contract with injury history is tough.

OTT declines the NSH deal, saros not worth a top 25 pick yet alone adding that much

OTT passes on SEA deal

the rest are bad deals or side moves that OTT wont do
