If we are in win now mode, which it appears we are, this probably needs to include Zetterlund as a key piece.

Got a feeling it’s a package around Vegas’ 1st RD pick.

I would love an unprotected 1st round pick. Sharks are still going to be a horrible team this coming season so that pick has a high probability of being top 5.
Nashville, Tenn. (August 23, 2024) – Nashville Predators General Manager Barry Trotz announced today that the team has acquired forward David Edstrom, goaltender Magnus Chrona and the Vegas Golden Knights’ first-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft (conditional) from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for goaltender Yaroslav Askarov, forward Nolan Burke and Colorado’s third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.
In the event Vegas’ first-round selection in the 2025 NHL Draft, previously acquired by San Jose, falls within the Top 10, San Jose has the right to transfer either its first-round pick or Vegas’ to Nashville.
Edstrom, 19 (2/18/05), recorded 19 points (7g-12a) in 44 games with Frölunda HC of the Swedish Hockey League last season, helping lead his team to the semifinals of the league postseason. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound center tied for first among SHL U-20 skaters in assists (12) during the 2023-24 campaign; he tied for fourth in points and had a share of the highest plus-minus (+12) among players his age or younger in the league. During the playoffs, Edstrom added six points (2g-4a) in 14 games as Frölunda fell to Skellefteå in the semis in seven games. Originally selected by Vegas in the first round (32nd overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft, Edstrom made his SHL debut in 2022-23, where he had four points (2g-2a) in 11 contests. A product of the Frölunda system, the Gothenburg, Sweden, native also spent time playing in the country’s U-20 and U-18 leagues, contributing at a point-per-game pace in 2022-23 on the junior circuit with 28 points (15g-13a) in 28 appearances. Internationally, Edstrom earned silver with Sweden at the 2024 World Junior Championship and 2023 U-18 World Championship.
Chrona, 23 (8/28/00), played in the NHL, AHL and ECHL for the Sharks organization last season, appearing in a combined 42 games in net as a rookie. The bulk of his playing time came with San Jose of the AHL, where he went 6-17-6 with a 3.49 goals-against average and .894 save percentage in 31 games for the Barracuda. He made his NHL debut with San Jose on Nov. 4, 2023 vs. Pittsburgh and went on to play in eight more games for the Sharks, earning his first career win on March 9, 2024 vs. Ottawa. Prior to turning pro, the 6-foot-4, 194-pound goaltender enjoyed a four-year career at the University of Denver, earning numerous accolades, including back-to-back NCHC regular-season titles and being named the league’s Goaltender of the Year in 2022-23. Originally selected by Tampa Bay in the fifth round (152nd overall) of the 2018 NHL Draft, the Skellefteå, Sweden, native played his junior hockey for the Nacka and AIK systems before coming to North America.
The Predators now own nine picks in the 2025 NHL Draft – three in the first, two in the second and one in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rounds. This is the first time in franchise history that Nashville has owned three first-round picks in the same NHL Draft.

THE FULL DETAILS
Well I know they have two 1st round picks this year
Gonna be an underwhelming return I fear, Asky had leverage and his return won’t be as high as it would be if we traded him last season
Well at least it’s not the Blackhawks.
