Confirmed Trade: [PHI/NSH/VGK] Ryan Ellis to PHI, Cody Glass and Philippe Myers to NSH, Nolan Patrick to VGK

[Skinnyjimmy08]

So

winner =Philly
Loser= Vegas
Meh = Nashville

I weirdly like it for all 3... Ellis in Philly is good, Myers is awesome and will be good in Nashville and also I would gladly take Patrick over Glass... I like it for VGK too

 

[super6646]

Thing is that Ellis contract could age bad, and Myers is a good top 4 option already. I think Nashville did really well here (philly did okay, Vegas did bad).

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Like the deal for the Flyers, best of luck to (Philly) Myers and Nolan Patrick.

 

[Hostile Offer]

That looks like a great deal for Philly but obviously with his term and age Ellis comes with a bit of a risk. It looks like people here are putting more value on Glass than Patrick but let's face it, they're from the same draft and while both are yet to break through in the NHL, Patrick has showed more so far. Nashville is getting younger and it's the right direction for them but the value they're getting back here seems low.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Nashville heading into a rebuild?

 

[wpgallday1960]

This looks really good for NSH imo

Decent but not overwhelming. Glass has to establish himself yet.

 

[yianik]

Wow, Vegas had a good cupboard of C prospects and now Suzuki and Glass are gone, and they have Patrick.

 

[Soundgarden]

The hell Nashville doing?

So does Ellis suck now or something?

No, but we have Fabbro and Carrier on the right side and Ellis is over 30 and has a long contract. Still a solid top pairing/2nd pairing guy.

Love this for Nashville, but I'm still very high on Glass. Don't know much about Myers tbh.

 

[Foppberg]

Seems like Nashville did the best here, Philly did well too. No idea what Vegas is thinking though. That WheatKings connection is strong I guess..

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

McCrimmon had Patrick in Brandon..

 

[TimeZone]

This looks awful for Vegas to me....like, atrocious.

 

[bauer]

i like the move. Ellis is a great RHD. will help solidify Philly's top 4. Patrick sucked last year and wanted out. maybe he can bounce back elsewhere but he looked terrible. Myers didn't look good either. but both players still have potential to improve.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Decent but not overwhelming. Glass has to establish himself yet.

Ya Glass needs alot of work still... maybe a new team will get his ass in gear

 

[KevSkillz4]

If Glass can develop into a great top 6 C and Phillipe Myers into a solid #4 defenseman, that would be a great deal for Predators. I like the potential of both.

 

[ryan callahan]

Fair deal for everyone imo. Very well done from all three teams. Nashville could make out like bandits especially considering Glass never really got an extended shot on Vegas, Philly gets an elite top pair guy and Vegas swaps Glass (Who clearly had a fall out with Vegas after being below Kolesar, Brown, Reaves and other grinders during the playoffs) for another wildcard with upside.

No, but we have Fabbro and Carrier on the right side and Ellis is over 30 and has a long contract. Still a solid top pairing/2nd pairing guy.

Yeah once everything trickled in, it made more sense. I like Glass, a lot. (Not meth, Cody Glass)

I hope I’m wrong but I think Patrick might be damaged goods unfortunately

 

[IranCondraAffair]

I think everyone gets what they wanted:

Philly: We need to leverage Patrick into the best thing we can get. We can take on cap hit and give up a defenseman to do so.
Vegas: We have Glass and he needs a change of scenery for an equivalent prospect.
Nashville: We need to turn Ellis (who has a high cap hit and has started playing like shit) into a draft exempt piece and acquire a replacement defenseman for Ellis. We also need to cut salary.

 

[beardawg]

Love it from a Nashville perspective

 

[Magic Mittens]

Really surprised with Vegas here. Sure Patrick could work out, but it’s a huge gamble. Glass looks like worst case a 2C

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Vegas woke up today and told themselves they need Nolan Patrick? Like....Why?

 

[tomd]

Seems like Nashville still has to protect 4 defensemen unless they are going to expose Myers.

 

[Boomstick]

Big fan of Ellis. I hope he does well in Philly.

 

[GM Armchair]

Decent all around

 

[deckercky]

Glass in Nashville is awesome. Won't surprise me if NASH has a deal with Seattle TO take Duchene or Johansen.

If Nashville moves out Duchene or Johansen, it will be interesting - that would clear almost all of their big long-term salary commitments, giving them a much younger team and an almost blank slate of the salary cap to grow their youth into.

This board values Glass much more than Vegas fans do. It is an even trade for two underperforming players from the 2017 draft. Glass lost favor by both the coaching staff and the front office after been given multiple chances to shine.
