You've been told repeatedly when the Preds tend to announce things. I honestly hope nobody posts lines here until after puck drop in response to your continual asking.

But sometimes relatives or friends or like their friends know sooner. I have seen it happen at hfboards multiple times. Especially our leafs boards. Somebody often knows before. It makes it so exciting and then we invest even MORE. And make even more money.

Haha, I should say... if Trotz (the 3rd winningest coach in the history of the NHL, Stanley Cup Champion, 2 times Jack Adams award winner) keeps Hynes on as coach... welllllll... my RAGE will definitely find a target...

But money is relevant and we are the richest and most powerful. But lets see if forsberg plays and we can make even MORE. Forsberg would make this tonight much much solider. The glue he brings makes that pp even more tight. Yall is gon able to bomb that team off and giveth that playoff birth.

Back on topic for this thread since Trotz, Poile, or if Forsberg plays have NOTHING to do with the trade deadline ... we have five days to see who, if anyone, else gets moved and just as importantly what comes back in return. A 2nd round pick next season in return for a consistent 20+ goal scorer who is on pace to top 20 again this season isn't a huge return. What it does do is clear cap and real salary for this season and next ... and this team has done a lot of paper moves to save a few thousand here, another few thousand there (Tomasino sent down and recalled twice in the last 13 days ... Novak on paper moves several times as well) ...
If the rumors about Fabbro come true, that creates a potential need to find a 6th defender for next season (depending on the return) ... assuming Gravel stays with the Preds for the remainder of 22-23. The defender pipeline is a bit thin right now. If Ekholm is moved the need for a roster or near ready blueline prospect as part of the return are heightened.

Nothing you're saying is on topic for this thread.

Couldnt find a gdt sire. Didnt want to make one cause nashville predators fans know better their own games.
I believe trotz will instantly make a better team again. He is that fine of a hockey person. Coaching staff this season has made mistakes too. Like tolvanen snitched after the trade, nobody knew their roles in predators team he said

Hey! You suck!
This is the most tight lipped organization in hockey when it comes to injuries. When we say no one knows, we mean no one anywhere knows outside of the coach and GM.
Seriously if he keeps Hynes I'm going to be asking for both to be fired from the startHaha, I should say... if Trotz (the 3rd winningest coach in the history of the NHL, Stanley Cup Champion, 2 times Jack Adams award winner) keeps Hynes on as coach... welllllll... my RAGE will definitely find a target...
Nino gone
Fabbro rumored to be as good as gone
Almost everyone else for sale
How deep are we willing to cut?

First Fubu and now Pred303. !@#$! you cancer
I have a theory; Haslem as a rookie owner, Trotz as rookie GM, Rookie coach. cut to the bone and become an expansion team v 2.0

Who knows. We had a clue what Poile might have done, we have zero idea what Trotz will do. It's a new day.
To the bone apparently.
Bringing in Trotz will probably give the organization 3-4 years of good will with the fan base.

I wonder if Trotz feels the same way about players as Poile does. Would make me wonder if that takes Fabbro off the trade board heading foward,
Good point. Im interested to see what poile thinks a team should really look like instead of being given one and told to make it work

And I’ve spent the last few days in the main trade board saying “Poile would NEVER… blahblahblah”…
On the bright side maybe it opens up some more “ruthless” types of moves which we discounted previously due to assumptions made about Poile honoring promises or respecting personal relationships (Ekholm, Joey, Granlund etc) along with conversely letting bygones be bygones on any past sour relationships (Trenin, ?Fabbro?, ?Tomasino?)

They haven't released his official scenario but a doctor who does those kind of procedures said 8-9 months was the recovery timeline. So quite plausible he's not around to start the season next year.
EDIT: Context, on 102.5 they hosted a Doctor who said that. Sorry!

I mean, honestly, there will still be biases and problems with certain players and their contracts. I like the Trotz to GM move, interested to see who he hires to fill the HC role but I don't hate GMDP, I just thought he should step aside and let someone else take over. Glad he's finally realizing this thing isn't working under his watch and is willing to let someone else rebuild us back up.The cool thing is, a new GM and coach means we all get to push "reset" on all the biases and expectations we've piled up over the years. Where will the "rage" (it was NEVER actually rage, just us shooting the shit on a message board though) be directed? Who knows!!! We will watch what happens and something new will rise, phoenix-like, from the ashes of our old biases and expectations. That's going to be a lot of fun, I say!

I know "trade related reasons" has been a hard thing to read this year but if Jeannot went thru warmups it sounds actually imminent.
Obviously will reserve judgment till we see the return but if the rumors about high demand are true I would way rather capitalize on the value and trade him than sign him long term.

Tampa doesn't have a 1st until 2026 so that's a bit concerning.
