Kings decline unless Allen is able to keep up a .930 SV% to the deadline. Last season he had a worse average than both Talbot and Copley. The Kings would also be in on Saros.

If Talbot or copley keep up their play, the kings arent in a playoff spot come the deadline and if Allen still has a .930 come the deadline, the habs arent selling for anything less than a 1st and prospect

This is not a rebuild, this is a retool. A rebuild would be selling off your roster and building through the draft. A retool is trading away a few of the roster players to bring in new blood

Canucks pass, no reason for us to do that

Vancouver won't trade EP for futures, even if management wanted too ownership would veto that, they want to win now.

So for saros:

Nashville gets a gross contract (anderson)
A wing prospect that doesnt really stick out above Kemell or Wood
A young NHL dman to throw onto their pile of young NHL dmen but doesnt really differentiate himself from what they already have
Calgarys 1st

Cant say id be interested from nashvilles end. Youd have to pay me that 1st to take Anderson's bad contract and the rest isnt of interest in trade for saros

The Kings were below .900 goaltending average last season at the deadline and were in a playoff spot nearly all season. Talbot has a .914 SV% right now. If Talbot keeps up his play they are in much better shape than last season. You can keep Allen.

Yowza on the EP trade. Better hope he does not get injured, cause they apparently traded 4 x 1sts and 4 x 2nds for him.

Canucks pass AGAIN/STILL.IMHO.

I'll take that package as considerations for taking that brutal Anderson contract, now keep adding to get Saros

Anderson becomes the Preds 3rd best forward lol

a 30 point player who takes a lot of penalties with one point in 9 games on the season? making a whopping 5m for the next 4 years? sure.

you've simply covered the cost to dump him here.

5.5 mill*. But they've convinced themselves he's worth a 1st++ because of some unfounded rumour 2 years ago and it's stuck
