NJD: Roman Josi, Jusse Saros

NASH: Taylor Hall, Mackenzie Blackwood

I feel like there is a swap possibility there. UFA swap plus the Devils get a goalie. Devils get better goalie because Hall is younger and worth more than Josi.

Nashville won't part with Josi

Ya, don't think there's a chance josi gets traded.

I think Preds say no, they need Josi more than Hall at the moment.

Also Saros is the more NHL ready goalie who is the heir apparent to Rinne. Not sure they can wait for Blackwood as Rinne will likely be done in a year or 2 (Or at least not be full time starter and a 1B role)

The value might be close but still think Preds pass for different reasons.

Josi has more value than Hall and Saros has more value than Blackwood. No from Nashville.

If Nashville trades Josi, that once formidable blueline would be down to just Ekholm and Ellis. No from Nashville, they need Josi, and Josi's better than Hall.

Isn’t Josi their captain? From what I’ve heard, they are set to make Josi a huge offer. $8+ a season.

There is no way Josi signs anything close to 8 million. Paniran is a nice comparable.

How is Panarin comparable? He’s a forward. Josi is a defenseman. And not a Norris trophy winning one either.
