Sujet: viable opponent for vasilevskiy only way id be ok with knies deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>NSH fans, genuinely want convo and input. I know Leafs likely add but I think this is a good base. I also think this is really the only thing left that could be done to truly put Toronto over the top, so would be curious if it's even a possibility and just how much more would have to be included. I think what would probably end up happening in a Leafs-Saros deal would be that Niemela also has be included.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>yea thats really all I was shooting for. I think its a lower end offer but its a strong base if that makes sense. I think maybe a Niemela type prospect also ends up in the mix.

Top goalie deals involving any more than a team's #1 prospect and a 1st are rare though. Granted trading a goalie of Saros' calibre is also rare.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bluspy88</b></div><div>Honestly not a horrible starting point as you've acknowledged, and you deserve credit for not absolutely low balling. I would have to think the Predators would want more as we've said. If I was them, I'm looking at 1.) Young forwards (their offense is ROUGH) 2.) Young D and 3.) NHL goalie to fill until they bring up Askarov/back him up.</div></div>

A good comparison I like to make is the Horvat deal. While he is a forward (two different positions) you gotta think we could net a similar return. Horvat got a blue chip prospect, a 1st, and a young roster player. Top end player, top end goalie. Different condiments, same sandwich.

If I'm moving a Vezina caliber goalie under a team friendly deal for the next 3 seasons, I'm asking for no less. The deal would have to really entice me to consider moving him.
But like I said, Knies and a 1st is a good conversation starter but it would likely cost more.
