Nashville Predators Talk - 2024/2025 Season II

[herzausstein]

I mean bunting is more in line with what Bruno wants

Problem is i dont want Bruno. Getting players for bruno makes me fearful for next season

 

[BigFatCat999]

OK, I looked over buntings stats, contract, and physical measurements

I still don’t see why he’s an upgrade to Novak

 

[GeauxPreds1]

We're gonna be tanking for that kid in '26 aren't we?

This is not tanking. This is just being a bad hockey team better yet a bad team management and franchise. A true hockey fan can somewhat get behind a team that is rebuilding and losing because we have a young team and is stacking up talent. What this team is doing is trying to build a contender and is failing miserably

Novak did almost all his production 5v5 as well... Bunting has more power play points than even strength.

I just dont get it. Unless we are getting ready to trade someone like Marchessault, i just dont get the fit here.

 

[Soundgarden]

I don’t get it? It’s just one season, I don’t get the nightmare title

And it’s one thing if a team has no assets, you guys got players you can sell if it comes to that next year

Right we're already 30th and the seasons over. Novak is decent but not exactly a top 6er on a contender.

 

[BigFatCat999]

two nights ago I had the worst case of stomach flu/food poisoning ever it was coming out both ends faster than a Shea Weber slap shot. And I still think they are better Trotz then Barry

Contender?

 

[Coffee]

Contender?

Things change fast in the NHL

 

[glenngineer]

Why sign Novak to a 3 year deal to trade him in year 1? Did the same with Carrier. Lost Fabbro for nothing.

We’re just blowing thru our organizational depth.

If there are offers of 1st rounders out there for any of our guys and we don’t accept them, I don’t know what to say or think any longer. I will say this, now that I’ve got espn+ it won’t be hard to go find a new team to root for.

 

[Osprey]

I'm guessing that PIT wants to stock up on draft picks and realized that an injured Bunting wasn't worth much to a playoff team, so they found a non-playoff team that would take him and a pick for two players who would have value to playoff teams. I won't be surprised if Dubas now flips both of them and gets back more than Trotz got.

Trotz does seem to swing between, "I want a Jeannot type deal for my guy" to realizing he isn't going to get an entire draft class for his guy and just taking whatever bag of wet spaghetti he gets handed.

That's what I almost said to you earlier when you were talking about food coming out both ends while I was trying to eat a late dinner.

I’ve seen worse child I’ve seen much worse

 

[ShagDaddy]

Here’s the Novak replacement.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

So as some of you know I have a very reliable source that sometimes passes me info.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that there was a deal to an eastern conference team last year that was a 1st round pick for Novak.

And we basically gave him away for a fourth and worse player.

Trotz has to go. He has to. I thought Bruno was the problem but it's Trotz. The incompetence is beyond anything we've seen in this league since Milbury.
