Shades of the 2013 draft with this proposal done right this time timing wise by the Devils (assuming the Devils pick is 10-12 OA)
2024 First Round Pick (potentially 10OA)
Jusse Saros
This makes sense for both teams in so many ways. Very, very comparable to the Cory Schnieder trade.
Devils get their goaltender, plain and simple. They give up a strong asset, but they aren’t giving up multiple assets and doesn’t make sense to draft a player two years away when potentially trying to win now. This is probably assuming that they talk to Saros and tack on a five year extension once traded.
For Nashville, they continue to build off this great season by stock piling young talent. They shed cap and get to start Askarov, while being able to put that extra $4-5 million to another need while Askarov is on his rookie deal.
