<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AEcho</b></div><div>I think Casey would like be a really solid pick-up for NSH with the rest of the package. I think he has the tools to be a strong 1-2 punch on the blueline alongside Molendyk but on the right side. NSH has not been afraid of undersized D-man in the past, so having Casey in that deal is something that I think they would consider considering the only other player I would be interested in (Mercer) is off the table.

The only other thing that has me on the fence is that this has some retention on Saros. The first round pick is likely to be later in the 1st round (if not last or second to last, imo) so I think NSH would want maybe another pick purely for the retention on Saros. Not anything crazy, like a 3rd or 4th round pick. I know Holtz has the makings of a potential star, and for someone at his level I won't even mention it, as he would likely get top 6 minutes in NSH as their forward group outside of Forsberg is middle of the pack at best. The combination of shifting from Holtz to Casey and considering this would be NSH's last retention spot preventing them from retaining on other potential trade targets at the deadline for the next two years makes it easier for NSH to swallow the tough pill that is trading Saros.</div></div>

Retention on Saros isn't necessary with Sissons not included, Vanecek going the other way, and deadline cap hit scaling, but if NSH is selling Saros they may rebuild and in that case it doesn't matter
