Confirmed Trade: [NSH/COL] Ondrej Pavel and 2027 3rd for Juuso Parssinen and 2026 6th

[Pestilence]

Parsinnen becomes a 60-70 pt guy(if playing with good supporting cast) for the avs easy… kind of like a poor mans Anton Lundell

Lundell’s career high is 44 points and suddenly 60 points is a poor version of it?

lol the trotz moves are so weird and seemingly pointless

 

[JoeSakic13]

Trotz still using the “hold my beer” approach to being a GM I see.

 

[Jacked Daniel]

Barkov or Aho will be the next

and then one more year Selanne makes a return

 

[jaa]

I wonder if they could form a Finnish line in colorado. Rantanen pärssinen lehkonen maybe. Or if they can develope Pärssinen to be maybe a poor man's Rantanen?

Much more likely Pärssinen centers Kiviranta and Innala on a 4th line.

Trotz saw a Nashville team beginning to play better and absolutely could not have it. So, like a good leader, he made a hilarious trade

 

[GreatSaveLuongo]

GM Barry is like a 13 year old excited to play GM mode in EA sports NHL for the first time. Lol He loves making trades.

usually as a rookie GM a guy would trade for young guys instead of trading all away

 

[Hins77]

Crazy how others GM acting like Sharks seeking blood around Barry Trotz. He seems to litterally lose all his trade... Im sure he is currently a lot of phone call. Maybe not for the good reason. I could see Parsinnen developp into a reliable player in colorado. Carrier is playing top for 4 minutes in lontreal. We only gave barron. An ahler..

They hate this trade in Nashville! I am loving it!

 

[JPT]

Soon we'll learn that Trotz got the Preds tattoo on his ass covered up and all of this is part of an elaborate plan to get back at the franchise for firing him.

Technically we never did fire him. Poile just let his contract run out and didn't offer him a new one. Not real sure what you call that actually.

Someone take the phone away from Barry!!!

You would think a team struggling as much as the Preds this year would want to at least showcase the guys deemed “expendable” a bit before shipping them off. There would really have been nothing to lose and maybe you could have built some true value back in there.

At the end of the day, the problem isn’t that the likes of Parssinen, Tomasino and Fabbro had little value…their value at the times of the trades is commensurate with their usage and production in Nashville. The question is why is a bad team with the likes of McCarron, Jankowski, Schenn and Lauzon as fixtures - allowing their younger NHL players whither to the point of such little value? I guess if you ask Trotz and Brunette, it’s that they spent a fortune on vets this off-season and wanted old school prototypical depth guys to fill out the rest of the line-up…but it wasn’t working, so why not change things up?

I’ll say it again - the Nashville prospect system is absolutely still flush with another wave of talent…probably a better wave. Tons of first rounders who have progressed nicely on the way or already getting some games (plus three more 1sts in the 2025 draft). They do a great job developing talent in Milwaukee. The concern would be what happens when these guys are ready to be NHL regulars. How does Brunette and the NHL staff put them into positions to be successful? Or are we just going to keep repeating this cycle? Who’s next to get their value tanked? Novak? Evangelista? Looks like that’s kind of already happening…

 

[Dadof5boys]

I mean we still have Molendyk, L'Hereux, Kemell, Wood, Svechkov, Surin, Schaefer, Edstrom, from the first round and three 1sts + two 2nds this year.

While some of these guys and assets are good, I don’t see a blue chipper in there.

We refuse to fail hard enough to get a blue chipper at the top of the draft and arent good enough at drafting to get one later.

Because this is exactly how Trotz did players when he was a coach. I mean us old Nashville fans are ticked at what is going on, but when you look back at some of the decisions he made as a coach can you really be that surprised? Trotz loved him some Vets and he always gave them a long leash compared to his younger talent. The only way the young guys ever saw the light of day was that he either didn't have a choice or that they were just so much better than his other option he couldn't justify it. TBH I'm surprised Evangelista and ZLH have managed to stay on the roster.

 

[AslanRH]

Does this mean I don't have to watch Wagner anymore? because that is worth the pick alone.

 

[CupofOil]

Fabbro+Tomasino+Parssinen for a 3rd sometime in the future+4th. I don't think even a fantasy GM simulation would accept these trades.
Also traded the Dman he just signed a mere months ago for....stuff.

Hope so. Dude needs to be put to pasture. IDK why they won't try something - ANYTHING - else

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

You know the old saying. You miss 100% of the trades you don't make.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

That's it for Parssinen? Wow.

 

[forsbergavs32]

We haven’t seen Wagner in awhile now, so I think Bednar is done with him right now considering he’s playing Givani Smith and Innala over him

 

[Reality Czech]

So much for the so called top tier prospect pool

The quicker they get rid of the Gm the better, but with the way Nashville deals he’ll have a long long leash

They have to clear roster space for all the guys they're going to draft with the approximately 43 draft picks they've accumulated in recent years.
