Nashville Predators Talk - 2024/2025 Season

[Viqsi]

What it would appear is we all (the fans) thought we were already X far toward a rebuild if the org pivoted that direction, but in Trotz's mind we haven't even started laying the groundwork yet and all that stuff we thought we had stocked up is actually just trash. I doubt we see anybody we currently have outside of maybe Molendyk and ZLH to emerge. There's a very rough path ahead.

I can understand the bolded to some degree (in the Jackets' system, most of the Preds' quality prospects would be Quality Prospect Depth rather than the leading guys), but I don't think it's anywhere near that extreme and certainly not enough to justify giving guys away for free or next to free.

Has Tomasino been playing center in either the NHL or the AHL?

Negative. He's barely played at all since his initial year, but he's exclusively a wing in his time here.

Neither do I, and how we've also systematically destroyed these guys' value is also an extremely frustrating part of this.

Right; there's no reason why a recent first shouldn't have some value. We cratered all of our guys value.

This management style feels like the Blackhawks of the 80s-90s(ish). So many players that flourished once leaving for whatever reason while the teams is one of the worst in the league.
