I think that the NJD should absolutely go after Juuse Saros, he fits in perfectly to their needs. That said, he also fits into what Nashville is doing with a line-up of vets on their roster. They have a young stud in Askarov coming through the system who will be the #1 goalie of the future. The question that Nashville needs to ask is "does this year's underperformance push them into a retool/rebuild?" If that answer is yes, then they should be looking to convert other players into younger assets such as:
Ryan McDonaugh
Gustav Nyquist
Ryan O'Reilly
And yes...even Roman Josi (who turns 34 in June)
These four players (plus Saros) could return a serious haul of 'roster players', 'young prospects' and 'picks'. Nashville would have to view this as a 5 year plan to win the Cup and to milk other teams who are trying to compete now of their farm system.
Now as for Saros and NJD, if I'm Nashville I'm looking at Dawson Mercer as being the main piece coming back, and maybe including Kevin Bahl and a 1st round pick in 2025. (very deep draft year). They would probably need to take Vitek Vanecek too as NJ wouldn't have a need for him and his cap hit, and Nashville will need a vet to support young Askarov.
