I can’t see why Nashville does this but I would love it as a Sharks fan.

I agree... even though I'm not a sharks fan

I wouldn't trade Fabbro for Burns in a one-for-one, even with the $2M retention. While Burns had a productive season, his age and cap hit makes it a non-starter. NSH is pretty happy with Fabbro - he doesn't need a change of scenery.

And obviously NSH doesn't trade Askarov for a 2nd and some scraps.

Yes Nashville should definitely trade their best young pieces for a 37 year old dman

Predators decline respectfully and point to Connor Ingram when you try to bring up Kahkonen

Sounds like you have a log jam there even without Kahkonen

It most definitely is. as much as I love Ingram and his story, I'd rather trade him than Askarov. Maybe my opinion will change in the future, but since we aren't at the competitive level that we need to be and probably won't be for much of Saros' golden years. I would like to hang on to Asky.

I wouldn't call Barabanov and Kahkonen scraps, but I respect the criticism otherwise.

In the context of being traded for NSH's top prospect, yeah. Ingram and Trenin are solid young pieces, but if I were to offer them and a 2nd for Hertl, they'd justifiably be considered scraps too in that proposal.

Does Fabbro need a change of scenery?
