Saros > Nylander and Samsonov is not making up the difference. Multiple people have reported starting price for Saros is 2 1sts. Also, Nylander would not be the target for NSH in a trade.

Why would a team who barley has a 20 goal scorer on their roster not want a 40 goal scorer? Nashville's top 2 goal scores combined had 1 goal more than Nylander.

Nylander is worth more than 2 x 1sts

Because a young player like that will have his pick of a team in UFA and a rebuilding nashville isnt an enticing option for a player to finish out his prime years at

Saying Nashville barely has a 20 goal scorer on their team is misleading. You're only looking at one season in which 5 of their top 6 forwards were either traded or injured. I'm not saying that they couldn't use more scoring, but if we go back one year, both Forsberg and Duchene were 40-goal scorers. Again, they need to add scoring, but not at the expense of a top 5 goalie in hockey.
