Thread: Trotz's Plan? Culture Change?

Nashville should be excited by these changes. Trotz is a winner, trust him. The three additions of Ryan O'Reilly, Gustav Nyquist, and Luke Schenn are all smart and calculated signings.

Ryan O'Reilly at $4.5 million a year for the next 4 years is the definition of a steal. If Nashville is called Smashville, than Luke Schenn is your new mayor. I feel bad for players coming across the blueline and getting absolutely destroyed by a Luke Schenn or Jeremy Lauzon.

I think Johansen will do fine in Colorado, where he can be a secondary compliment to an already stacked team. But, you don't want Johansen at $8 million a season now. However, at $4 million a year, he's worth taking a look at.

I have never been a fan of a buyout, especially because it goes against your payroll CAP. Nashville will be paying for Duchene for a little while now. Just ask Minnesota how it feels to still be paying for Parise and Suter, over $14 million against their CAP for the next 2 years. That's over $14 million a season, for the next 2 years, devoted to their CAP, for a couple players that are long gone. But, I do think Duchene was overpaid and Trotz obviously felt something needed to be done.

Saros is a great goalie, Lankinen is a very good backup, and this team is now much better defensively than it was last year. There are still moves to be made, but Nashville has a bunch of low budget forwards. Barrie should be flipped at some point. If they do make it to the playoffs this upcoming season, they are built right and have the ability to surprise some people. Either way, this team is trending in the right direction with Barry Trotz at the helm.

Thread: Preds

NSH just let Foote walk as an RFA, why would they sign him to more than he is worth? Also, if NSH is going to move on from Fabbro it is for an upgrade at RD or for a forward and they let Livingstone come up and play. Not opposed to moving Fabbro, but not for nothing

Thread: Nobody Wants Nick Robertson

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div> Believe or not Robertson has played more NHL games, than other players taken above him in his draft.

Is that really much of a flex when we're talking about 21-22 year olds? A lot of these guys are still in college, haven't come over from Europe yet, etc.

Sure there will be some busts that don't make it to as many games as Robertson has to date, but pumping a guy's tires for having played 31 games feels like desperately trying to find something positive to say about him.

Thread: Nylander to Nashville

If Nashville is going to give him 10 million, they will be able to next FA. They aren’t going to compete this year, they realized that with the trades for guys and buyouts..

Thread: Nylander to Nashville

A year of Nylander isn't worth the equivalent to three 1sts and a 2nd, and an extension up to $10M doesn't really add value. Just because a team has the cap space to overpay a player, doesn't mean they should.

Thread: Question for Preds Fans

Novak signed when he had 11 points in 19 games last season— I’m sure if he had known he’d put up 32 points in his remaining 32 games then he would’ve waited to re-sign.

But there’s no guarantee he would’ve had the season he did at the time of signing the contract. Being a 25/6 year old player with minimal NHL experience— I bet he was ecstatic to get a guaranteed $800k on a one-way deal.

If he keeps it up, NSH could get a haul for him at the deadline. Will be interesting to see how he performs and what decision NSH ends up making with him— extension or trade. But I don’t see him being traded until at least halfway through the season if they go that route.

Thread: Question for Preds Fans

Everything Novak related depends on if last season was a fluke. That's probably why he signed at such a low cap hit. He'll be getting a good amount of opportunity (likely as or 2C behind ROR). I'd say Novak would only be made available if the Predators weren't close on an extension for him. Then, I have ZERO idea what the asking would be. I could see a team paying as much as a 1st+ and as little as a 3rd tbh. He's just a very weird player to value.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 14, 2023 at 11:51 a.m.

Thread: Question for Preds Fans

He is projected to be either the 2C or 3C this year. He was a college kid that honestly just couldn't do wrong last season much like Jeannot had the year prior. I don't see him being a 70 point guy in his career.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 14, 2023 at 11:51 a.m.

Thread: Question for Preds Fans

I think if you want Novak it's gotta start with a first. I'm sure the Preds would prefer a 2024 pick, but since Boston lacks one, they'd probably settle for a 2025 if it came with another pick or prospect, His value really depends on how he produces when this year starts. If he picks up where he left off, it's gonna be astronomical cause a lot of teams will want an offensive center who's not even making 1 mil. The best part of Novak is the cheap contract for this year. He's the perfect rental

You are correct. If we are trading Saros we need a player like Holtz or Mercer coming back. I know Mercer is a big name compared to Holtz cause his NHL experience but it would drastically reduce the price overall that the devils would need to pay.

Thread: Cap Compliant - Max 1 player per team

I'd swap Vejmelka for Logan Thompson and Saros for Sorokin. Despite his tiny cap hit Thompson isn't on an ELC, and then you'd have room to turn Hischier into Hughes and Trouba into Fox.

Trouba is the only objectively bad choice here imo, he's not worth a fraction of that 8m.

Thread: Playoffs

That package isn't getting you Saros. Saros is a top 5 goalie in the league and is on a steal of a contract right now that still has term left. He will likely get paid a similar contract to the one Sorokin just signed earlier this off-season. On top of that Lebrun reported a few weeks ago that Saros is likely going to stay put. This means NSH will have a 1A-1B thing with Saros and Askarov in a couple of years.

If you want Saros that badly you have to blow Tortz away with an offer. Something like taking the current package and putting Ostlund on top of that. There aren't really comps to a Saros trade because it doesn't happen, and NSH is perfectly content to hang onto Saros because trading Saros means full rebuild for NSH, not just a retool

Thread: Defensemen Swap

That is a bit high for NSH. I would say NSH either does what <a href="/users/GMBL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@GMBL</a> has mentioned here already or would want the 1st round pick conditional on making playoffs and the 2nd drops to a 3rd.

Personally I'd rather not tie up the last retention spot NSH has on Karlsson for another 4 years, and would rather use it on something like moving Barrie at the deadline for a higher pick, but I wouldn't be opposed to either.

Thread: Defensemen Swap

I think if a 3-way happened here, NSH keeps their 1st (give up a 3rd maybe) but retain 1M on Karlsson or something like that.
