Players Play
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.
