GDT: Nashville Predators 2024 Training Camp

Hinostroza was destined for Milwaukee from the get go

But by putting on waivers that leaves them open for the rest of the league

But that's the only way they can get to Milwaukee. He's not waiver exempt...and he cleared

Now is a really good time to try and pass the older tweeners through. Every team still has a couple to cut or a few PTO guys theyre still evaluating. Unless who you are trying to pass through is a clear upgrade over who they still have, the player will pass through.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Yeah, I don't think they have to worry about Del Gaizo or Blankenburg either way.

But if they were thinking of doing Parssinen and the report was just a leak of a thought/plan that is still forthcoming... I'd definitely be leery on that one. I'm just not ready to give up on what we saw from him that first year... I simply can't believe he could regress like that so quickly. He might still pass waivers, though. Other teams have their own guys. But I wouldn't take that chance now. L'Heureux and Ozzy can wait a bit if needed.

Im leary of passing Pärssinen through waivers as well but if you are going to do it then now is the time. Once teams have their rosters trimmed down and capspace figured out, he will have much less chance of clearing. He needs to be playing games and so far he hasnt really been utilized that much with the NHL bound at camp

 

[Scoresberg]

Why are we sending Pärssinen down? I think he's been good so far. Are we really going with all of McCarron, Jankowski, Smith and L'Heureux over him?

A couple of interesting things that may be meaningless but also may be indicative of what the roster will look like:

Yeah, I appreciate that L'Heureux and Wiesblatt have had good camps, and I look forward to them one day making the team... and replacing guys like Jankowski... but I'm not ready to give up on Parssinen yet. Of course that's just the fan view, heavily weighted by his first amazing season, games only. But he has had a troubled injury history (hence the late draft) and maybe they see some more fundamental physical limitation that they see as a long-term impediment to his upside? Aside from that possibility, there's no way I would waive Parssinen for waiver-exempt guys like L'Heureux and Wiesblatt. They'll get their chances. Parssinen doesn't have another chance.
