The other consideration with the timing of this trade is we were coming up on salary cap tagging issues that were creating problems for us when we looking to sign players to contract extensions. For example Sergachev, Cernak or Cirelli. Or even signing free agents to contracts for more than one season.
OTF Rank: NA — Sarsland is a 6’0”, right-shot defender coming from the Minnesota high school circuit whose name I’ve heard connected to Nashville leading up to the draft. While it can be hard to properly evaluate high school prospects given their competition, Sarsland has earned a couple of call-ups to the NAHL—America’s Tier II junior league—in the past couple of seasons. Sarsland dressed in eight games for the Fairbanks Ice Dogs this year, scoring four goals and seven points.
The worst thing for Nashville Predators wouldn't be losing Filip Forsberg. It would be keeping him and doing nothing else this offseason to improve.
