Gstank29 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 So bored so here is my Tradedeadline Vrbata deal. Van Saros 2016 2nd Nashville Vrbata IMO Saros is going to be a stud goalie, he fills in the gap between "The Demko Era" and the "Miller years" if Markstrom doesn't turn out. Nashville already has a ton of goaltending depth and with Rinne and Hutton forming a solid 1-2 punch for at least the next 3 years Saros is the odd man out. Saros is an amazing goaltending but is under 6 ft which is why he fellow so much. Multiple scouts have said that if he was 6'1 + he would have been a 1st round pick and one of the first goalies off the board Fire away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Saros is redundant. Miller, Markstrom, Demko, Cannata, yadda yadda. Wouldn't fit with us. Actually, it depends. Saros would be down in Utica for several years and join Demko. Markstrom would by then be our number 1 or still our backup. Eh, mixed emotions with this trade. I can tell you many upsides and downsides with acquiring a goaltender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Saros is only about a season away, not several years. Miller is a UFA in 2017, so Saros provides the perfect stop gap between Markstrom and Demko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Goblin Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Not bad. How about... Saros 1st 2nd for Vrbata 5mil Hamhuis 4.5mil Nashville has just over 9.5mil in cap space so they have just enough space to fit them both without us having to retain any of it. Looks like the perfect rentals for Nashville to make a Cup run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I can't see Nashville trading Saros. Rinne is 33 and Saros is only 20 (same age as Demko btw), so I'm sure Nash is hoping he will be their next goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Vrby to Washington for Bowey and a 5th. They are all in and can probably find spot for another scorer, not the best fit, but If they get an injury I could see it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milk and honey Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 decent value wise but Nashville will counter something like this I think. 2nd+3rd/4th for Vrbata or Doughtery+2nd/3rd I doubt they want to trade saros. They picked him for a reason and he is the same age as Demko. So makes no sense to gain an asset that we are fairly deep in. If we need a backup or a starter once miller leaves and if Markstrom isn't good enough. We can when the time calls for it. Hoping we go after 3-4 dman in our first 5picks.(including incoming picks we probably get at this time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Value is dead on. Its fair in my opinion. But, cough I have him in one of my pools, Rinne is having a crappy year. Plus he's 33. 0.906 save % YTD. Cough 56th in the NHL. And they are hurting, losing games off his ordinary play. I'm not trading a hot goalie prospect ATM if I'm Nashville. Similarly, we have bigger fish to fry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 why would a team move their young prospects for players becoming ufa and on the down hill side of their careers...? all we'll get for these guys are other team's struggling players...

With that logic where do team acquire players at the trade deadline? Because the Stanley Cup is the final goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutral Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 we need to address our defence and forwards, I dont think we need a key piece in a trade being a goalie. Im sure nashville sees him as the heir to Rinne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
