Insider Reveals a Major Trade That Fell Through at the Trade Deadline

After a whirlwind day in the NHL, it seems as though more trades could be on the docket.

Massive Failed Trade

The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta is reporting that a potential trade between the Nashville Predators and the Los Angeles Kings involving star goaltender Juuse Saros fell through in-season.




After the trade fell through, the Kings pivoted and acquired Joonas Korpisalo and Vladislav Gavrikov from the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Pagnotta says that the potential trade would have included multiple first rounds picks plus prospects.

On June 6th, the Kings traded mercurial goaltender Cal Peterson to the Philadelphia Flyers, leaving a vacancy in net.

Pagnotta speculates that this trade may lead the Kings to consider re-opening negotiations for the All-Star Saros.
