Newhook for Fabbro?32 Thoughts: Wild's Kirill Kaprizov should be in Hart Trophy race
On Friedman's 32 Thoughts:
"Know you love the rumours, but it is early. This is the 'we’re-still-seeing-what-we’ve-got' phase. Predators GM Barry Trotz has the second-best hockey radio hit on The Game in Nashville. On Tuesday, he told hosts Willy Daunic, Derrick Mason and Adam Vingan, “No one is trading anyone right now. I would like to get a centre, but no one is giving their centremen away.”
Two toughest things to find: a stud defender and a top centre. No more zero in the win column after Tuesday night, where they opened with Colton Sissons between Jonathan Marchessault and Steven Stamkos."
Right now, the Preds have a glaring hole at the 2C positions, almost at the 3C spot, too.
No, rather: "No one is willing to give up a good young 2C for cheap."“No one is trading anyone right now. I would like to get a centre, but no one is giving their centremen away.”
Considering Fabbro is in the press-box in Nashville, I’m all for it. Newhook probably ends up in the press-box as well eventually, though.Newhook for Fabbro?
That hasn’t come by since 1998, so I’m having a hard time seeing one do anytime soon.In all reality we need a true number 1 centre.
You're legit trying to sell that to a team that is still paying Turris and Johansen and Duchene? We've done enough expensive riverboat gambling lately kthx.With Stutzle/Pinto/Greig, Ottawa might be convinced to part with Norris due to his injury history for defensive help.
I wouldn't, but that's mostly because I think at this point Newhook is more of a winger.Considering Fabbro is in the press-box in Nashville, I’m all for it. Newhook probably ends up in the press-box as well eventually, though.
Love Stammer, but he has never been a great centre, was always meant to be a winger imo. Trotz is getting what he deserves for trying to patch a team together with UFA's, as much as I like him too. Yzerman has made the same dumb, impatient mistakeI like Stamkos but the people who were confused as to why Tampa let him go - this is why. He can’t play C anymore and is basically a power play specialist. 8m is a lot of money for a guy like that. Now they need a 2C.
“Since” 98? We never had one then hahaConsidering Fabbro is in the press-box in Nashville, I’m all for it. Newhook probably ends up in the press-box as well eventually, though.
