'24-25 Former Predators Thread

[hockey diva]

Well on some of those guys that ship sailed years ago. The last 2-3 have proven how stupid our management has been and is.

 

[herzausstein]

This lineup would have 112 goals :

Kevin Fiala (10g/8a) - Mikael Granlund (10g/20a) - Nino Niederreiter (10g/7a)
Ryan Hartman (4g/3a) - Matt Duchene (12g/17a) - Eeli Tolvanen (8g/5a)
Kiefer Sherwood (8g/6a) - Frederick Gaudreau (5g/9a) - Craig Smith (6g/4a)
Luke Kunin (8g/4a) - Erik Haula (5g/6a) - Mathieu Olivier (8g/3a)
Phil Tomasino (3g/1a)
Tanner Jeannot (3g/2a)

Mattias Ekholm (3g/8a) - Seth Jones (2g/8a)
Ryan McDonagh (0g/9a) - Dante Fabbro (3g/4a)
Ryan Suter (1g/5a) - Samuel Girard (2g/14a)
Tyson Barrie (1g/1a)

Yaroslav Askarov (1.96/.927)
Kevin Lankinen (2.65/.908)


Not incl.:
Viktor Arvidsson (2g/3a)
Cody Glass (1g/5a)
Yakov Trenin (2g/1a)
Nick Cousins (3g/3a)
Calle Jarnkrok (IR)
Scott Wedgewood

Only players im bothered by us not having, Fiala (though i understand the trade), Duchene (that buyout and the dead cap is gonna continue to haunt us), Tolvanen/Tomasino/Fabbro (waiver claims or dumb trades instead of putting the kids in a place to succeed), Askarov.

Everyone else you can sortof justify.
Hartman, Kunin, Barrie, Granlund etc werent doin hot for us. RV as much as i love his play is constantly injured. Glass is made of glass. Trenin priced himself out. Jeannot got a great return. Etc

Yeah sharks are gonna be able to get a pretty penny off of granlund should they trade him. Retain 50% and send him to a competitor

Sharks can’t retain. And I imagine teams will be a little scared off based on how his adjustments went in NSH and PIT after being traded, but based on his personal struggles maybe he figures it out this time.

 

[Scoresberg]

 

[herzausstein]

He would likely still be in the AHL and Nashville would still likely suck.

 

[Kat Predator]

Aneninonun [sic] has been pretty good though. (Surprisingly, given how bad he was when in Denver.)

 

[nine_inch_fang]

Yeah, not sure Askarov makes a difference on this team this year even if he is backing up Saros. Just not enough games to matter. Might have an extra win from early in the season when Wedgewood lost a game or two.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

What a silly statistical comparison.

 

[Armourboy]

What a silly statistical comparison.

It makes absolutely zero sense and has zero correlation. If Saros had been bad, maybe, but he hasn't. We aren't losing games due to goaltending.
