Speculation: Trotz: "If we don't get it going, then I'm going to start our rebuild plan."

The Preds lost their 9th game of the season tonight (lead the NHL in losses). How much time does Barry give the team to turn it around with out losing the season?

Maybe he should have started the rebuild plan before signing Stamkos and Marchessault

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

The U2 concert ploy 2.0.

 

[BlueDream]

From going all-in to rebuild in the matter of a few months. Lmao.

Retain and trade them. 4D chess

Rebuild after signing those contracts? Thats not how it works, that’s not how any of this works.

It's not like we've seen this play out 100x before where teams try to build a new core via free agency and fail miserably.

 

[Three On Zero]

Dibs on Josi and Forsberg

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

No He's not, he can't.

Marsh, Stamkos, ROR, Saros, Schenn and Forsberg all have term.

There is no rebuild coming

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Had a feeling these signings were ownership driven. Trotz is smart he knows the team needs a rebuild.

We have also seen it work, at least in other sports, the 08 Celtics, the Lebron led heat, the current LA Dodgers.

The LA Rams the year they won a super bowl.

The 2002 wings

The entire franchise history of the Vegas Golden Knights.

It can and does work if It's done right.

If Nashville's hitting the bottom this season and going to go into a rebuild then it starts here with that top pick and you're looking at a 4-8 year turn around. Stamkos and Marchessault's contracts don't really matter in that time frame, Note that they already have two additional 1st round picks this year, an extra 2nd, and should be able to add a little more at the deadline selling Nyquist and maybe Fabbro. If they want to go for that 'big haul' trade there's always the option of pursuing a hockey trade for Josi, Forsberg, and/or Saros.

It really feels like a lot of people don't understand how rebuilds actually work, the moves they made this summer will have minimal impact towards one.

IDK about this

More assets to trade.

Stamkos at 50% might get an asset.

But really Nashville would have a lot of enticing assets at the TDL. If they had a firesale, they could stock the cupboards in draft picks.
