Nashville Predators receive:
- Koskinen
- Couture
- Schmidt
- 3rd UFA 2022
St. Louis Blues receive:
- 1st PP 2022 (NAS)
- Hayton
- Georgiev
- Trouba
- Gudas
- Nyquist
Rationale (for Nashville):
My team is further along in its rebuild than I anticipated, so I figured I should invest in this season (2021-22).
- I get a strong goalie upgrade (Koskinen is getting more playing time and points on an elite team in Edmonton that Georgiev is in New York)
- Couture is an upgrade on a declining Nyquist
- Schmidt is the fantasy equivalent of Trouba (and better than Gudas)
- It is tough to let go of a top offensive prospect in Hayton, but this was the prospect that we could agree upon (and I'm not sure if I trust Arizona to develop him properly).
- It is also hard to let go off my 1st PP 2022; but the blow is cushioned by getting back a 3rd UFA in 2022 - better for my rising team as I look to compete in the immediate future.
- In Summary: Georgiev, Trouba, Gudas, Nyquist were NOT on my keeper list. So, I get a better 1B goalie option for this year (Koskinen) and an upgrade at F (Couture)
(for St. Louis):
- Sheds expensive contract of an aging Couture
- gets a top offensive prospect in Hayton
- gets a 1st PP in 2022
- Koskinen
- Couture
- Schmidt
- 3rd UFA 2022
