Northern_Nuck Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Saros and Demko had very comparable numbers if my memory serves me right… I would expect him to get the same next year maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nergish Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Hmmm... no real light at the end of the tunnel there for Askarov, who was fantastic this year on the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoop Hogg Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 7.5 seems awfully low. He must be taking a discount, so they aren’t going to be handcuffed capwise and can contend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 7 minutes ago, HarbularyBattery said: eight years is fking brave to lock up a goalie wow If it's in the 7 range like is suspected, might be worth. Bob just won the cup as a 10mil goalie. So, Saros at 7-8mil would be incredible. Signing anyone to 8 years is a risk. But you take that gamble on your superstars. Saros is one of the 3-5 best goalies in the game. I gamble on him at 7-8mil. And no major injuries that I am aware of. 3 straight 60+ seasons. Which is pretty good for a modern goalie. I love Saros and if they net him at around 7mil they're laughing. The biggest question is, what happens with Askarov? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is also no real rush to trade him, having their own Swayman/Ullmark combo would be pretty deadly. But yeah. If they lock up Juice for 7-8 years at 7-8mil. You gotta make some moves. I think they are gonna super active this offseason. They apparently want Stephenson. That'd be a nutty add. Team worth keeping an eye on. If they move Askarov+ for Marner and add Stephenson. Woooof. They have a mountain of cap space. Edit: And a mountain of draft picks. Edited June 28 by JeremyCuddles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They appear to be good potential trading partners, as the deal you proposed suggests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophomore Jinx Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) Report: Predators’ Juuse Saros to Sign 8-Year Extension on Monday According to Elliotte Friedman, the Nashville Predators will extend goaltender Juuse Saros to an eight-year contract on Monday (July 1). It was reported by Chris Johnston that the deal will carry an annual average of approximately $7.74 million. The contract will begin in the 2025-26 season. Saros went 35-24-5 with a 2.86 goals-against average and .906 save percentage this season. With the goaltending market seeing Jacob Markstrom, Linus Ullmark, and Darcy Kuemper find new squads this offseason, it was widely speculated Saros could be the next name to get shipped. At just 29 years old, he would have been a prime trade candidate for teams like the Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Carolina Hurricanes. Now, he can lock himself in Nashville for what could be the remainder of his career. An extension shows Predators’ general manager Barry Trotz believes in the current core. Saros led the team to fourth place in the Central Division before ultimately falling to the Vancouver Canucks in six games in Round 1 of the 2024 Playoffs. With a young core of NHL talent and high-end prospects, Saros has become the cornerstone of a future Stanley Cup contender. The Predators have top prospect Yaroslavv Askarov (22) waiting in the wings, and this extension puts his future with the team in question. With Kevin Lankinen set to hit the free agent market this Monday (July 1), Askarov would appear likely to assume the backup role in Nashville for the foreseeable future. However, Frank Seravalli believes the plan is to start Askarov in the AHL to begin next season, and if that is the case, Askarov may be a name to keep an eye on in the headlines.

We'll see, maybe not. But it certainly won't be cheap, factor in a couple more offseasons of cap increases and he could very well be an 8-9M tender. Are there reasons to be concerned because of his health in recent years? Absolutely, but if he can stay healthy and play like he did this season.. yeah, he's gonna get a big bag.
