While this is total fantasy, what if something like this could happen:

Leafs send Predators Nylander
Predators send Flames Saros
Then picks where it needs to be evened out.

The Preds have been grooming Saros for a number of years to take over for Rinne.
With Rinne on the verge of FA, the time is next season.
It would certainly be a strange time to trade him, as they would immediately need to start searching for another goalie just like him.
I expect he'd be one of their last payers to get moved right now.
