<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JZ_DAL</b></div><div>only way OTT can take on Saros is if Norris or Korpisalo are gone, definitely not taking him unless 1 of the goalies are gone aswell, I had Laughton &amp; FLA 1st for Chychrun, I would give BOS &amp; FLA 1st, Korpisalo &amp; Jarventie for Saros</div></div>

Meh, I don't love it for NSH. I might be more open to it if NSH had a buy out slot available, if Korpisalo can't be fixed.

I really don't think OTT is NSH's best trade partner, when it comes to Saros. The Sens' prospect pool doesn't have much to offer NSH, and any players OTT would be willing to move don't do much for the Preds either. OTT's own 1st in 2024 is really the only asset they have that might entice Trotz to move Saros, before next season's deadline (assuming NSH isn't in a playoff position and/or Askarov has shown he's ready to be an NHL starter).

I think NSH could get a return that works better for them from other teams, like NJ, LA or CAR.

Those are backup numbers. Gotta pump those games played up.

And I'd argue goalie prices have gone down, not up.

Based on how NHL teams have shown to value goalies:
-They pay them less than they used to
-They draft them later than they used to
-They trade less for them than they used to

And goaltending is getting younger and younger, and more and more volatile.

All of this suggest that a 1 year goalie rental is worth a lot less than it used to be</div></div>

I disagree that trade values trend up or down like that, like you suggest. The highest level goalies get traded so infrequently to begin with, there isn't enough data to establish patterns or trends anyway. That's why this decade old Schneider trade keeps getting thrown around like the gold standard of trade value, by the "goalies aren't worth that much" crowd.

Also, why wouldn't you re-sign Saros, so that he's not a rental? If NJ is a team with good leadership and a bright future, that should be an easy sell to any player. If it's not a team a player that wants to win would choose, a sign and trade after July 1st like many Devils fans want isn't going to be an option anyway.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Schneider's fall off was after 3 years as a full time starter in his age 30 season.
Saros became a starter 1 year earlier, so next year would be his age 29 season, but in the same point of progression.

Saros has been mediocre this year imo.</div></div>

Schneider falling off after three seasons as a starter doesn't mean that's going to happen to every other goalie too.

That's some flawed extrapolation, IMO. Like seeing an elite goalie have a below average first half of the season, due to something like struggling to adjust under a new coach's unfamiliar system, and assuming the rest of his season went badly. Or that he's definitely falling off for good, like that one other guy from years back.
