The Kings Still Trying to Get Saros Hearing the Kings have made multiple attempts to see about the availability Preds goalie Saros. The Preds want three pieces… A top 6 forward, prospect D, and first round pick-EK
Top 6 Forward: I would think only Arvidsson would be available (possibly) and fit the definition of a top 6 forward. But he left NSH already and he's on an expiring deal. Trevor Moore is probably a middle 6 guy and I don't know how much interest he'd garner at 4.2mm AAV for multiple years.
Prospect D: I don't see Spence getting moved and Clarke is untouchable. Bjornfot probably doesn't move the needle and losing him would leave LAK without any LHD prospects outside of Dvorak who is raw and not ready.
First Rounder: LAK has traded its first the last two drafts. The stellar prospect depth is starting to thin a bit. I hope Blake stands pat with the picks, although Saros would be a great get.
So a deal seems unlikely, EK, given the parameters. Plus, there would still be a cap issue this coming year for LAK as Saros comes in at 5mm AAV. So NSH would need to retain.
