Value of: Pekka Rinne

[maplepred]

I am not saying he is on the market, I am not saying he is. But if he were, what would he return?

Which teams would be interested?? Philly? Canes? Devils? Sabres? Canucks?

should be "I am not saying he is on the market, I am not saying he isn't."

 

[Unsustainable]

Canes definitely

 

[Starat327]

Philly interested? Sure. But not at a price Nashville fans would accept (and admittedly, probably not whats he is worth), and certainly not at a level that would make us the highest bidder.

 

[sebsisles]

maybe Isles as a stopgap for Sorokin? Salary would have to go back Nashvilles way

I can see Poil trade Rinne, he has only one year left, he is 35 and maybe he win the Vezina this year.

I see two Options.

1: One more run for the Cup with him and take the risk of he sucks.
2: Trade him now with the value of a Vezina winner

I have no clue what happens, and maybe i am wrong with both options.

Doesn't he have a NMC? At the very least that limits your options.

Preds in their win window shouldn't mess up with their goaltending too much, let him split the season with Saros and let Saros play the playoffs if they are worried about Rinne's head.

 

[Predigree]

I am not worried about Rinne´s head. He was fantastic this Season ( without some PO games ).
I talk only about his value.
If you asked me, don`t move him.

But i am not Poile, he was not afraid to trade our captain and i would not suprised if he trade Rinne.

@Jester: I dont know if Rinne has a NMC. Sorry

 

[PinkFly]

Straight up for Frederick Andersen. Choker for choker.

So from what I have read and heard from everyone is that saros need split time to grow to a No.1 ( I personally think he is but I'll take any form of insightful opinion) why not trade Mike Smith or pekka straight across? No cap retention or picks just a 1 for 1?

Because there is no reason to do that. Smith's worse than Rinne, we don't need to change up our goaltending if we don't have any incentive to do so.

Rinne: .927Sv% 2.31GAA Vezina nom(and likely win)
Smith .916Sv% 2.65GAA

@Soundgarden Rinne have a NMC?

Indeed, there is signficant disincentive to do that. 1) Rinne is better. 2) Rinne is really loved and respected by his teammates and a big part of the team chemistry. They won't trade him, period, let alone in a backwards move like that. Plus he really seems to take his mentor role to Saros seriously and that should be a great situation moving forward past the expiry of his big contract.

Being 36 and after playoff collapse I doubt much?

 

[MinJaBen]

Would Skinner for Rinne be an even swap? Both only have a year left on their contracts.

Skinner likely has a lot more value. Rinne if moved would be a move for the sake of moving him, not for the return. I would think a 2nd or third rd pick given his age and contract status.
