Value of: Nashville Predators Firesale: Give your offers

[TheNewEra]

Can Nashville retain on another contract?

they have one more slot if im reading puckpedia right

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

ROR back to Toronto and Tavares can move down to #3C where it's more suitable for him at this stage of his career.

Same age and JT is out performing ROR. Would love ROR back but lets not pretend he's better than JT at this stage.

Ask for Lauzon - or - Schenn @ 50% retained?

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I would be surprised if Trotz trades any of "his guys". Realistically, the Preds should have their ears open on just about any veteran player who isn't tied down by a NMC. But when you start to put together the list of players we should at least listen on, there are a lot of them who the organization seems to overvalue and seem likely to want to keep.

The list may narrow down quickly to "just Nyquist". What a fire sale!

I would personally love to dump all of these guys:

Nyquist (impending UFA) - 2nd or 3rd round pick
Sissons (1 more year at $2.857M) - ? having a terrible year and not a Trotz acquisition so maybe?
Carrier (2 more @ $3.75M) - organization seems to like him for some reason
Lauzon (1 more @ $2M) - organization seems to like him for some reason
Schenn (1 more @ $2.75M) - Trotz "identity guy"
Smith (1 more @ $1M) - organization seems to like him for some reason
McCarron (1 more @$900k) - organization seems to like him for some reason
Jankowski (1 more @$800k) - waiver fodder

I could even consider moving these ones for the right offer too, though:
O'Reilly - Trotz won't
Saros - Trotz won't
Novak - Preds are sort of phasing him out already this season

I suspect there will be much more smoke than fire. The real firing should be behind the bench first.

Trotz is an idiot and won't trade any of the guys with actual value so the "fire sale" would be for clowns like Jankowski and Schenn.

So, don't ask for Schenn ?

My offer would be Barron/Struble and a pick for him.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

The answer from fans is: "what's the most we can get"? (For two guys who we think suck and would love to get rid of)

The answer from Trotz is: "get lost, they aren't available".

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Yeah, I can't see Trotz moving Schenn. Any of us fans will take anything you offer, since Schenn is really awful. We'll take your offer and run away laughing giddily. But it's not going to happen, alas.

 

[Guyute]

If both players were willing to waive their NMCs, I'd do Mika for RoR. The Rangers can score a lot of goals but can't keep the puck out of their net.

Unfortunately, I doubt Mika would waive his NMC. Who knows, maybe he decides a change of scenery and going to a smaller market would get good for him. Mika and Forsberg both played on the 2012 WJC Gold medal-winning Sweden team. Maybe the Swedish connection can improve the Predators locker room mix that currently seems to be broken.

3 players of interest for Ottawa

Jonathan Marchessault, Thomas Novak and Alexandre Carrier

Although the cap makes it complicated. In all cases, Sens would need to send Amadio back

What would it cost for each?

Marchessault has a NMC. Novak could be available. Carrier should be available but probably won't be.

I don't think us Preds fans are going to be in a great position to play fantasy GMs on our players yet. They can't really be as bad as they seem under this coach, so we're all more looking to firing the coach as the first step. Once Brunette is out of the way , then it will take a little while to re-evaluate which players TRULY should stay or go.

Just off the top, Norris is a player on the Sens we probably would have some interest in. And then since our D is pretty barebones at the moment, any scrap RD you have kicking around would probably help if Carrier was involved... JBD for example.

 

[Andre Palot]

Why? Markstrom not living up to expectations?

No.

 

[Chainshot]

More like ashes than fuel then.

 

[Jeune Poulet]

What will Trotz do to fix this mess in Nashville and what are your offers?

The old adage "it's easier to replace one coach than 20 players" seems to apply, here.

Trotz just did all these personnel changes. Some of these contracts will be hell to move and the players are at their lowest in terms of value.

Trotz needs to find a coach that will get a performance bump out of this lineup. I wouldn't be surprised to see Trotz himself behind the bench as interim.

 

[StIvany4Norris]

Something around Graves and Marchessault? Both have trade protections and contracts end in 2029

What would the add be from Pittsburgh? Think futures valued less than a first seems reasonable

 

[Flgatorguy87]

I don't think we should be trying to jettison all these players. I am certain March and Stammer can be better than they've been and offer more than what they've shown. However, I don't know that they will be able to improve in this current system...but this system seems to be dogmatically employed by Bruno who Trotz won't move on from. We've come full circle at this point without a clear way to improve, hence the frustration from all the Nashville fan base. Truly a frustrating conversation.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Seen Stamkos?

 

[ponder719]

Our idiot management insists on keeping Punch McFace around, and I'd like to see us at least reduce the salary dedicated to that.

Deslauriers and a 4th for McCarron?
