Nashville Predators Talk - 2024/2025 Season

[Top 6 Spaling]

Novak is the only semi-major piece I can see us moving. ROR is possible at the deadline if we're truly out of it completely and he is open to it.

So many old dudes with NMCs - no rebuild is plausible with all of those anchors.

Stamkos, Forsberg, Josi, and Saros are the only ones with NMCs according to Puckpedia...
not ideal but if it came to it i bet some of those guys would agree to waive.

I could see Gus going too.

Marchessault and Skjei also have NMCs according to PuckPedia. Just if they waive theirs, then there is a broader field of possible trade destinations due to their NTCs. But they have full control over being traded or not.

And with Saros, his doesn't kick in until July 1st, 2025. So we could still trade him before then. Which IMHO if the suckage continues we very much should. If anybody will give us anything for him, anyway. He's playing well. Hopefully some team out there would be desperate enough. But I don't really expect that. I don't really believe any other team would touch that contract, not even if he was available for free. At which point, we might just as well keep him. In that sense, what Trotz said is accurate enough - Saros can't practically be moved even if we wanted to, even before his NMC kicks in.
