Seravalli: Devils showed real interest in Saros last few weeks but Preds will keep him as long as they are in playoff position

[Zippy316]

They still can't trade their first round pick as is. I'm thinking Trotz (or any else GM, for that matter) doesn't like the idea that the pick actually downgrades if the Devils go deep in the playoffs.

It’s been done before.

There would be a condition on the pick that if the Devils reach the ECF and the pick goes to San Jose, then the Predators will likely get future picks that make up the value. Probably something like a 2024 3rd and also a 2025 1st.

In all seriousness, the pick would likely be loaded with conditions anyways since I doubt Devils would not top 5 or top 10 protect the pick.

I can see a deal in the summer or at the draft. Bratt and a 1st for Saros.

Bratt isn't going anywhere.

 

[Lolonegoal]

funny enough, if NJ ends up picking in the 8-10 range, I would offer that pick straight up for Saros (extended to a reasonable deal)

Mirrors the Schneider deal.

As a Habs fan, I would do the same thing with our pick for Askarov if Nashville wants to keep Saros.

That's a better return than any goalie has ever gotten in the history of hockey.

We're not trading Askarov.

I wouldnt trade Bratt for anything on Nashville's roster tbh

Put the pipe down buddy you’ve had enough.

did I stutter?

Josi is tremendous but turns 34 in a few months
Forsberg is also tremendous, but is 4 years older and a similar player production wise

 

[Lolonegoal]

We're not trading Askarov.

I wouldn't either, but apparently last year he was offered for our 5th overall.

He was, along with our first, so we could draft. Michkov. Askari has improved a lot since then i think that ship has sailed.

Who on Nashville's current roster do you think is worth Bratt? Genuinely curious, no disrespect intended.

Yeah, seems like a very scenario dependent deal, and both teams looking towards the future now. Either way, you should get a huge return for Saros.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Ah yes, I missed Seravelli's inside scoop. I'm sure he's right this time.

Few years ago, he spoiled and ruined the whole purpose of the trade deadline... He called almost every trade, way before the officialisation.

Would Jarry for Mercer be a fair trade? Devils are loaded with young talent and it’s inevitable that one of those players will put them over the cap. So instead of losing him or someone else like Holtz why not grab your goalie now (Jarry will be much better once away from Sullivan keep in mind).

meh, if we are moving Mercer (which I am honestly okay doing tbh), I would aim a bit higher than Jarry if at all possible.

Askarov, Kemell, Evangelista, first round picks, josi, etc

Nobody is untradable, especially Bratt lol. For you to say there is nothing on the Preds worth bratt that sounds very uneducated.
Bratt isn’t even a top 30 forward in the league. I take Forsberg alone over him every day of the week.

I will reiterate for you, one more time: I would not trade Bratt for any one player in the Preds organization. I am sorry that that offends?

Thats great that you'd take Forsberg over him. Forsberg is 4 years older, makes more money, and is signed for 1 year shorter. All while being a similarly productive player. Oh, and he is more injury prone.

Would NJ have any interest in Nedeljkovic?

definitely not

I don't have much interest in buying this year given where the season is.

That said, if they did, I wouldn't be upset or anything. He shouldn't cost much at all.

I wouldn't hes starting to regress I'd be very concerned if my team traded for him and locked him up long term could be a very bad contract in a few years
