Well not sure they are rebuilding given the fact they signed Nyqvist O Reilly and Schenn for 10+m…
Assuming they are, it seems Trotz is ready to immobilize long term cap so I guess if he 30% to 50% he could get a lot of attention. (PIT WSH would love to add a young guy to their core

I think there would be a ton of teams interested. Value wise 1st, solid prospect and a roster player or two for cap reasons.

Dude... he has an NMC. What makes you think he'd agree to be traded?
And if you're paying attention, this isn't a "sell all the old guys" rebuild or we wouldn't have signed O'Reilly and Schenn

Schenn is 33 years old and making more money than he has since his 3.6M a year contract he signed in 2011 that ended in 2016. Then at age 26 in his prime he was forced to take a two year 1.25M contract from the coyotes before signing for less than a million in each of the last 5 years. I think giving him almost 10M over 3 years is less a sign of a shrewd GM finding a 15 year vet who is just about to break out at age 33, and more a desperate move from a guy who needed to do literally anything.
The preds also have 9M in dead cap this year and it climbs to 12M next year. Their only forward really worth mentioning hasnt played 70+ games in a season since 2016-17. O'Reilly is fine, but his best years are behind him and he's always had a tendency to pout when things aren't going his way.
The team seems purpose built to try and sneak in for a second wild card and hope their goalie can win a couple rounds for them. I've cheered for that exact type of team before and i wouldn't be too surprised if josi recognized it and, at age 33, was at least willing to consider his options.

Even if one tried to construct a fantasy scenario where Josi wanted to be traded, I doubt the Preds would get anything for him. Look at Karlsson. There are only 4 teams with enough Cap space to add Josi, and none of them would want him. So to get him onto a better team, the Preds would be looking at moving him more like the way they moved Ryan Johansen with major retention.
And that's just not gonna happen. He's going to retire as the Preds' all-time leader in games and points, longest-serving Captain, he's on stage for them at every event, I don't doubt they've already got the bronze statue of him commissioned and the retirement banner printed and ready to go to the rafters. He's probably going to move into management as soon as he retires. Preds and Josi are bound together for life, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, yada yada, it's not going to change.

Did I say it’s a rumour or value of?
Was just curious what kind of package we could get.
O’Reilly and Schenn were brought in to mentor the young guys and be leaders. We aren’t bringing those two in to win a cup, if that was the goal then Duchene would still be here. Schenn and O’Reilly together don’t even make what Roman makes.
I know he has a NMC, I’m just saying what could we get if Trotz ever did want to move him.

I'm going to say we could get Alex Galchenyuk for Josi at 50% retention.

Hey! You suck!
You aren't getting much because he gets to decide where he wants to go and the team on the other end knows that. You might get a first but frankly I'd be pretty surprised you would get that considering you have zero negotiating leverage.
We've been over this a million times on the Preds boards. I have little reason to doubt Poile and Trotz both talked to him and he knows the plan. If he wanted out we would have known about it already.

He's going to be 34 next season and is signed to 38 at over 9 AAV. I don't think he will have that much value. Maybe something similar to the Ekholm deal.

I knew we should have signed galchenyuk when we had him for that few days. Now it’s going to cost us Josi?!I'm going to say we could get Alex Galchenyuk for Josi at 50% retention.
Ugh… NHL politics haha

He also has like 10+ documented concussions. He's probably going to LTIRetire even before he hits the end of his contract. And the Preds are fine with that.

It can be tough to get value for players still playing at a very high level when they've got a high cap hit for "at risk" years of potential play fall off. This type of deal would likely require some significant contract $'s have to be going back to NASH.
