The Story in 60 Seconds

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported on his podcast that the Nashville Predators could receive trade calls regarding their goaltenders. Following Connor Hellebuyck joining the New Jersey Devils, clubs seeking goaltending help may shift their focus to teams carrying two capable netminders, potentially putting Predators goalies Justus Annunen and Juuse Saros on the radar.

Writer Calvin Luckfield notes that Annunen has struggled with a 3.89 GAA this season but carries an affordable $1.25 million cap hit. Meanwhile, Saros is in year two of an eight-year, $7.74 million AAV contract, making a move unlikely unless Nashville falls out of playoff contention.
