<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AWhiteOreo</b></div><div>Glass is likely a negative asset for the Preds at this stage. Instead, they spend 100k less on a PK specialist that really plays to Nashville's style. Timmins you can take or leave, he's a fairly run of the mill 7th dman with an entirely buriable cap hit.</div></div>

I think Kämpf would be more likely to be seen as a negative asset to NSH than Glass. The Preds need to get younger and produce more offense. Glass is still an option for their middle six. He didn't get much of a chance last season, but neither did other young forwards like Tomasino or Pärssinen. I don't think time has run out on him just yet. Kämpf on the other hand would be a redundancy in NSH, when they already have better bottom six center options in Sissons and McCarron (plus Jankowski and Pärssinen). Kämpf comes with an extra year on his contract too, which is less than ideal. NSH can cut bait on Glass after next season, if they want to.

I'd rather see Stastney and Del Gaizo on the main roster before Timmins, plus his salary isn't<em> entirely</em> buriable, as he's making over a million.

The guys you're sending NSH just have less upside and potential use to them than Glass could.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Back out all of the extras and 10th OA for Y.A. I saw what you said but the guy has 3 NHL games and 48 AHL games played. And yes you're going on what he <strong>might</strong> be but there is no history that says he's going to be Shesty or Vasy. Sure you want an add to feel like the guy you develop has more value, we can do that. Its just not a Holtz, Mercer type player. I know what the reply will be, but hey a 10th OA is not worth nothing.</div></div>

No, obviously 10OA isn't nothing. Is it not less of a sure thing than Askarov though? There's no telling who'll be available at that spot, and how whoever gets picked at that spot develops is a bigger unknown than Askarov is now.

Like <a href="/users/herzausstein" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@herzausstein</a>, I think NSH should move on from Saros and keep Askarov. I'm not interested in this proposal overall (even though I'd love to have Casey), so maybe I'm biased. I do think the value is considerably tilted in NJ's favour though.
