Proposal: Detroit | Nashville

[MBH]

To Nashville: Jonathan Bernier
To Detroit: Saros and the NJ 2nd.

Why? Nashville has to improve between the pipes.
Rinne 17-12-3 .898 3.01
Saros 9-9-4 .902 3.03.
Bernier 12-14-2 .911 2.82

Now, I don't watch a lot of Nashville hockey, but it;s hard for me to believe that Bernier wouldn't post better numbers playing with Nashville than he would in Detroit. I think he'd push Rinne for #1 and greatly improve the Preds' chances of making the playoffs.

The Preds can make a late run at a playoff spot without paying a heavy price (I've seen Saros. He's nothing special).
Detroit can even eat some of Bernier's contract to make it work.

The Wings get a top 40 pick and maybe something in Saros.

Hell f***ing no.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I wouldn't even consider trading Saros alone for Bernier, let alone adding a pick. Saros is just coming off his first little stretch of sub-par play in 7 years of impressive progress. No way I give up on him for a veteran journeyman like Bernier.

 

[HabsQC]

Detroit shoud take that and run

 

[Hockeyholic]

That's horrific for Nashville.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Hell no from Preds, please close.

 

[MisterT]

The wrong side is adding the pick.

 

[MBH]

Goaltending is one reason why Nashville sucks.
With Bernier level goaltending, they'd be a playoff team.
You can't win in the NHL with .902 or .899 sv percentage.

And anyone who thinks Saros, at .902, is better than Bernier, at .911 in front of an AHL defense, is blinded by names.

I'd take Rinne instead of Saros - but Rinne wouldn't waive.

I would take Saros over Jonathan freaking Bernier every day of the week based on age and contract status alone. And I am far from a Saros fan.

And why would you do that?
Unless your desire is to have a worse goalie?

You really going to keep digging? He literally already told you.

Uhhh Saros is 7 years younger, literally 1/2 the price, and a RFA.

[McRpro]

OP should feel shame for proposing this.

 

[Tetsuo]

This trade is horrific for Nashville but to be fair Bernier is playing out of his mind right now. Detroit is fielding an AHL-level defense most nights and Bernier is actually getting wins.

 

[Soundgarden]

God awful for Nashville. Saros has been playing better lately after a poor first couple of games.

 

[Henkka]

No reason to freak about a career backup (Saros).

 

[Roman Yoshi]

I'm good fam. We are sellers not buyers

 

[Hammettf2b]

While I agree Bernier is playing great right now, however, I don't see why Nashville does this especially adding a pick to the deal. I would take it in a heartbeat being a Wings fan but this is a non starter of a trade proposal.

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Yea, idk if that’s fair enough, can we also take Frans Nielson off your hands?

You run a hard bargain but if you're twisting my arm I'll do it haha.

We have to kill Nashville's cap before Webber does it himself.

he's not though. Atleast not how Nashville views him.

But hey, good job.

I don't.
If Nashville has any desire to make the playoffs, they need an improvement between the pipes.
And clearly, Bernier has really outperformed Rinne and Saros.
He's cheap.
He can play next year at a cheap price.

People are real assholes on here when you trigger them with trade proposals, don't take it too personally.

Saros is likely to be a good #1/2 option moving forward. Bernier is a journeyman.

If you want to move Bernier, look for a team with a more short term goalie issue (Florida?) and don't expect much in return.
