This season, Saros will be starting to carry a significant load in net for them for the foreseeable future. There is zero incentive for a top team like Nashville to make this move and jeopardize their goaltending depth right now unless Treliving goes postal and starts offering top 6 talent or a guy like Valimaki.
You are correct that Saros won't be moved, expect I guess if someone made an offer they can't refuse.

Saros is just the guy that Calgary would covet to replace Smith long term, and maybe short term. Of course, he's the exact same need in Nashville.

Valimaki isn't close to a start in getting Saros.
