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

[Soundgarden]

Not trying to rub it in I swear but how come Trotz didn't sign Lankinen? Could've been had for a mil.

No, we waited too long figuring out if we were going to keep Saros or Askarov. Ended up with Wedgewood who is AHL caliber.

What? The 2002 Red Wings had their full core in place and no cap.

Ya. That’s a bad and incorrect comparison.

Detroit would happily take ROR and Schenn.

And do what?

As a sharks fan, I appreciate Trotz trading us Askarov before starting his rebuild

I can't believe how bad a start Nashville has gotten off to..what is their biggest problem right now?

Typical clickbait. I believe he said "a part" or "some parts of our rebuild plan". That can mean literally anything.

Trorotz went all in this summer, all in rebuild

Yeah the rest of the quote is basically him specifying that he's been rebuilding for almost 2 years, but may trade more the fringe guys now

Stamkos, March, skjei, josi and forsberg all have NMC, and good luck getting them to waive from their no tax state team. The only players worth anything would be saros whose NMC kicks in next July and RoR. If Nashville is out at the deadline I’d move both pieces with small retention.

Don't the Preds only have 1 retention slot left?

They definitely have one used. Whether they have a second used or not depends on the outcome of Ryan Johansen grieving his contract termination, if I understand the process correctly. For the time being, they likely have to operate as though they only have one open retention slot.

Hope the players call his bluff and double down and a tank job
