Sujet: what a Saros to CAR trade would look like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>seanrushton</b></div><div>I mean NHL GMs have that mindset as well... Goalies never get huge trade returns. I would love Soros but it's probably going to be a futures-based package instead of current based.</div></div>

Perennial Vezina candidates rarely get traded, but to say goalies never get huge returns is a myth.

Schneider wasn't an established starter when NJ traded a 9OA pick for him.

FLA gave NSH an unprotected 1st (which wound up being 9OA) and two 2nds for Vokoun. When Poile wasn't negotiating from a position of strength, with an owner mandated fire sale no less.

Lindback was just a backup with some potential upside when TBL gave up two 2nds and a 3rd for him.

Goalies can get good returns, when the circumstances are right. The number of teams that view themselves as contenders that need a star goalie seems like the right circumstances to me.

Y'all can't read or think apparently. OP literally stated he doesn't think this trade happens. This post is him answering all of the Carolina posts about getting Saros and only sending Necas or something the other way. The rumors about a Saros trade have all been reporting that the ask was astronomical and not something that teams were entertaining. Like two of Byfield, Clarke, or Kaliyev along with a 1st and another asset. He's just trying to point out that Nashville won't be trading him for something other than what y'all consider an overpay. Think what you want about goalies or the trade market or your own player's evaluations, but the premise of this idea is to show what Trotz has been asking for. So try and be a little more civil or at least understand the situation and what's being presented.

This trade won't happen because no team is going to mortgage their future on a goalie because goaltending is voodoo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Minten is a stud. He was just captain of team Canada at the WJC. Niemela won WJC dman of the tourny in 2021 and is having a great year in the AHL and a 1st round pick and a 3rd.

This is a very big package.

Leafs pass on this though.</div></div>

Niemela is looking like a 5-6 dman at this point

Minten is good but is still only projected to be a middle six winger, not elite and sadly will likely go down as one of the worst captains that team Canada has ever had.

Neither is ranked in the top 50 prospects and neither is considered to have elite (top line potential) potential.

Your 1st will only have a 50% chance of even playing in the league and even less of a chance of becoming elite. And Samsonov is in this deal, who as I'm writing this is playing like a cap dump, not considered one yet but any trade negotiations for him right now won't be positive.

It's a big pile of maybes and pretty goods, no elites and Nashville turns it down pretty easily. It also gets beat pretty easily by another team
