Thread: How would you make a Mitch Marner Juuse Saros swap more fair
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>Yea, I agree. But we have a pool of assets that make sense for us to move for him, I don't see moving elite goaltending options for the upcoming season as something we should be doing. Addition without major subtraction to the current roster is the best course of action with the futures Nashville possesses. My point was that the only way I'd want to move elite goaltending for a player is if a cup was guaranteed, which it can never be. 2 guys same age would be a different story. I have all the faith in the world for Askarov to perform but not willing to throw all the eggs in that basket yet when it isn't necessary to do so.

I hope Nashville does make a swing for Marner, but for assets we can afford to move at this time.</div></div>

Gotta risk it to get the biscuit

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>We're not going to have to do anything. We can run both goaltenders for the year, or at least until the TDL. Mentoring Askarov with his fulltime transition to the NHL is also something of value for Nashville. Never have I mentioned signing both long term.

1sts are great, icing a competitive team is better. We made playoffs this year, by making additions to the roster and avoiding major subtractions (such as trading away our elite goaltending) we will be in a much better position next year. Would have to imagine the plan would be to make a push while Forsberg/Josi/ROR are still competitive and productive.</div></div>

Fair enough. I just don't think any kind of Marner trade gets done without giving up Saros. And given that Askarov could be just as good or even better than Saros over the next 2-3 years, it might be a good idea to swap Saros for Marner.
