Thread: REALISTIC Saros trade w Buffalo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>Saros is NOT a top6 goalie
He’s showing signs of decline with his inconsistency &amp; overall poor numbers (for him)
And this is after having a “down season” (again, for him) last year

And MOST IMPORTANTLY…..
goalies simply DO NOT get huge trade returns
It just doesn’t happen</div></div>

Poor numbers for him are league average. He has a new coach and a bad defensive team in front of him. Watch any Preds game and you'll see him getting hung out to dry. I don't think I'd call last year a down season when he was in the conversation for the Vezina and barely missed on being top 3 in the voting. And led the league in Goals Saved above Expected

And just because historically something has never happened doesn't mean it never will. That's a poor argument

Juuse Saros is a top 6 goalie in the league ask any expert or GM.

Thread: Im so sorry sharks fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jet11567</b></div><div>Muk is a project, ohoychiuk is a bottom pair guy at best,zetterlund is a bottom 6 forward, 1st and 2nd not enough for on of the best power forwards in the sport</div></div>

That 2nd will likely turn into a 1st if NJ just wins 2 playoff rounds in either 23' or 24'. If that happens I think the deal is fair, albeit not spectacular return for Meier. If it stays a 2nd then I agree very disappointing. Really I just hate that Grier accepted the condition on the 2024 1st/2nd and that he retained at all (using up one of SJ's slots), but the return was not far off what some people were proposing (the non mercer/nemec posts). I personally was saying 1st+muk+holtz+players solely for cap.
But for the rest of the trade we will have to see how Muk develops... or if Holtz turns into a superstar or a bust and Grier could have had him instead.
