Trade deadline

[nine_inch_fang]

It was 8 games without a point.

And also three months without a goal.

Edit: Nevermind, that's not accurate at all.

The broadcast team had no clue what they were talking about ... but Willie is co-winner of the Tennessee sports broadcaster of the year.

I thought it had been like 6 weeks so hearing 3 months was a surprise, turns out neither of them were accurate.

1 goal in January .... 3 in December ... 5 in November ... 4 in October

While he cooled off, Duchene picked up his scoring pace and the team won 12 of its last 20 games.

Even with "cooling off" Nino's still on-track for his career averages. The lack of more consistency in scoring is why he's a $4M per year winger (e.g. Craig Smith) and not a $6M+ one.

Jeez how would you like to be the runner up to Willie. Was Mike Keith the other co-winner? There's no way Willie is on the level with Mike Keith.

His inconsistency is still a consistent 20+ goal scorer.

Every team needs about four guys that they can count on for 20 goals ... Nino is an affordable option there.

 

[Preds Partisan]

Wasn't Matthew Lombardi listed as day-to-day after playing a game and a half with the Preds?

Yes, and while he was DtD for months we also found out no one in the organization had seen him for the longest time because he refused to come back to Nashville for evaluation. Then he got traded the next year.

 

[predwings]

I'll respond with what I said a while back about the TDL. I've got two options, we sell our pieces for more young players or draft picks or we do nothing at all. I am tired of the veteran pieces for our young players trades. We don't have a need for veterans with bloated contracts we have enough 3rd/4th line depth players we don't need another at this point. We ride it out with what we have, I'm happy to see what happens. I don't think we'll make it in this year either way and I'd hate to sell even part of the farm for some rental or bloated contract veteran that couldn't cut it with their current team.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Maybe we can get Nick Bonino back. Put an end to this crazy experiment with Novak or Parssinen playing.

We did healthy scratch Novak last game and then gave Juuso the lowest amount of ice time so we are getting close to that point.

I noticed that too.

The fact that he beat out Pete Pranica is mind-blowing

Have we tried Novak at wing? Or is he just going to be 1st line, 4th line, perma-scratch, Kraken?

 

[herzausstein]

I'm pretty sure at one point Boro was listed as day to day as well and he may never play again.

Yeh that was my recollection as well. Im pretty sure they dont want to send a Shockwave through the fandome when we are just outside the playoffs and fighting for a spot. Could negatively impact sales if it appeared we needed to pack it in for the season. Or due to head injuries being so unique to each individual and situation they just dont have any real clue.

I think boro gad a long history of head injuries, does anyone recall forsbergs?

It also keeps them from having to call up Tomasino. If he's just day to day, they won't spend the money to call up a player, they'll just play Jankowski in that spot.

Willie is a Little League broadcaster so they gave him a participation trophy.

Yeh thats kindof my worry. Slide sissons up to top 6, put novak back in and let Jankowski fill the gaps, maybe recall mccarron or someone to ride the pressbox.

 

[triggrman]

So if McDonagh waived his no trade clause, did Poile give him another?

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

The NTC travels with the player. It isn't permanently waived into non-existence. Although it can be, if both sides agree to that. However, I doubt it's likely that McDonagh would have agreed to that... why would he give up his control. Probably it is still listed with him due to it still being in place. Probably he made it a condition of waiving it once to allow the trade to us that the Preds would agree to continue to honor it after, since he has the right to make that a condition.

Can you show me where it says that? I thought there was a big discussion on this with the Weber/Subban trade.

I didn't think those were one-time deals?

It's what I'm trying to find out.

I'd like to see examples, and not on cap friendly, which we know has been wrong.

 

[Predsanddead24]

If I remember correctly Subban was a weird exception because we acquired him prior to his NMC kicking in with Montreal which allowed us not to honor it.

I believe Fleury would be an example of a NTC transferring because he had to waive it to go from Vegas to Chicago and again from Chicago to Minnesota.

Yeah, pretty certain this is the case. I'm just not sure whether it is if they are acquired before the NMC/NTC is active or if they are acquired before the contract with the NMC/NTC is active that the new team is able to not honor it. With McDonagh it is a full NTC and was already in effect, so we're stuck with it.
