Nashville Predators Talk - 2024/2025 Season II

[ShagDaddy]

That is big issue with our pool. Wood is top 6 or bust. Is Kemmel suited for bottom 6 role? I don’t think he really is and I don’t have high confidence in either really hitting. Guys like Svechkov and L’Hereux and Edstrom (even Nilsson and Stiga) look to be good middle 6ers who can play up or down lineup. I’m encouraged by Surin but haven’t seen enough of him to have sense of his upside, but he could be best of the bunch. We need top end guy this year to round out pool.

If you don’t think Kemmel will hit somebody, I suggest you watch more Admirals game. That kid is definitely not afraid to check and do it with conviction.

I apologize for poor choice of words. I meant hitting in sense of blossoming into top 6 NHL forward, not in the playing physical sense.

Roger that. That kid, for his age and size, plays an extremely physical game.

I’m using my “free” extra tickets to take nine of my employees to the game on Monday. Am I in danger of being sued for workplace harassment for making them watch this team?

I genuinely believe that Trotz has been trying to make deals, but his concept of value for his own players is significantly different than the market. We will see what happens, but I do think we see a move before the 4 nations tournament. Just a hunch.

Back down to eight games below .500 ..... sitting 14 points behind WC2. At some point even Trotz, Bruno, and Willy D need to realize this team isn't going 20-8-3 down the stretch to sneak into the postseason.

There is a difference between making deals and going into every situation like you're going to rob a train.

Unfortunately, 20-8-3 isn't even close to sneaking in. 23-7-1 gets them to 90 points which is possibly a playoff spot but not typically. That would also be 5 more wins in the last 31 games than they got in the first 51.

Ridiculous to be holding on to this fallacy.

This team is a train wreck.

 

[herzausstein]

2nd wildcard spot currently has a point pace that would put them at 92. So say 93 gives us a 50/50 to get in

Currently have 43 points and 31 games left. That means we would need 50 points out of the remaining 62 points available. So something akin to 25-6-0 or 23-4-4. Not really realistic given how crappy this team has played and our best win streak is 5 games that we hit once.

Look towards next season and what we can do to set us up for next year not being a complete dumpster fire

Train wrecks are entertaining to watch.

Train wrecks are entertaining to watch.

Seriously. The team sucks, they are a mostly a boring sucky, there is basically nothing going on with roster moves, and all we have to look forward to is a (likely) top 6-8 pick and 2 additional 1sts in a crappy draft year. This is what being a Pirates fan must feel like every year from June on.

We could all probably hit snooze on the Preds until July and not miss anything important or interesting.

I would find this year so much more interesting if I was watching Tomasino, Tolvanen, L'H, and Svech all getting real minutes and Askarov starting some games. We might suck, but at least there's a reason to tune in.
