Depends on how they view that contract and his health long term coupled with Pinto's outbreak. If you dont think he can stay healthy, you trade him for positive value while you can. If you think Pinto is going to pass him, you still need to consider it.

This is a player on his 3rd shoulder surgery who has only produced at a 70 point pace 1 time and has a career pace of 55 points per 82 games. He has missed 122 games over the past 3 seasons (49.5%). They can either sit on that contract and hope he rebounds and that Pinto doesnt surpass him or holding onto him doesnt keep Pinto from flourishing so they can have their cake and eat it too or they can try and get some/anything for a broken player before the contract might possibly look even worse because if he does get passed by Pinto in the roster his production will likelh drop further.

I wonder what the Predators Fans think about the trade for Saros. Heard they want multiple first rounders + a top six winger.</div></div>

I think Trotz' ask is ridiculous but this offer isnt it.

Rakell's contract doesnt move the needle for Nashville. He isnt good enough to be desirable as an immediate must have upgrade to push aside prospects like Evangelista and the contract just goes on for years....

Nieto is waiver fodder

So it is basically Pickering and a couple 2nds. Im just not high enough on Pickering to see this as a good deal. Plus LHD isnt really the place we need more prospects at.

Overall whether or not the value is there doesnt matter if the pieces arent right.
