They can trade Saros for a great return, because he can now sign an extension with the team acquiring him. He's still young enough to warrant a long term deal. He's 6 years younger than Marky, and therefore a better long term answer for many teams.
As usual, Nashville can use help up front.

Predators are in a similar situation as the Flames but they have been more proactive jettisoning players and acquiring draft picks yet have managed to ice a better team at the same time. They are doing what the Flames are attempting to do (retool while competing) but doing a much better job at it. That said I don't think what either organization is doing will build a cup contender but some organizations are always going to go against the grain and do things contrary to how most cup winners have been built.
