Nshoffseason1

I'd rather just keep Sissons-- younger, cheaper, less term.

NSH isn't trading Lauzon for a 3rd only a few months after they traded a 2nd to get him.

I don't think NSH needs to bring back Cousins. I'd be open to Lyubushkin, though I think he'll get more (either term or $$).

Lauzon is definitely someone Nashville overpaid a little for, I dont see him moving out but they probably should move him out.
Cousins was has actually been pretty good the last few yrs and i think both sides take that contract
Lyubushkin i will add an extra yr and a little more money. He would be a great fit for the D
The sissons/goodrow was a tough decision for me but Sissons just hasn’t been that great in a lot of the basic value analytics since Hynes has become the coach and I think Goodrow fits what Nashville does better. I think the rangers could definitely give up a little more bc goodrow is a little more pricey.

I disagree about Sissons. I like the chemistry he has with Jeannot and Trenin. I've got no interest in taking on Goodrow for five years at that cap hit.

Cousins wouldn't be missed. Even if they do bring him back for another year, I don't think a raise is justified.

Poile certainly did overpay for Lauzon, but what's done is done. No point in shipping him out so soon. Let's at least what he can do for the team first.

re: Lauzon -- NSH definitely overpaid, by a lot-- but they won't cut their losses yet. He'll most likely get a low aav 2-year deal, imo.

re: Cousins -- I have a feeling that spot can be taken by a rookie or someone already on the roster next season: Afanasyev, Parssinen, Luff, McCarron, Olivier, etc.

re: Sissons -- honestly, I'm not worried about his analytics as much because most it is just brought down due to NSH's awful PK. They need to fix that, and then his numbers will improve-- his even strength numbers (FF%, CF%, etc.) are fine for a 3rd/4th liner (better than Goodrow this year actually), and he's easily the best faceoff guy on the team. He also had great chemistry with Trenin/Jeannot (though I think Jeannot will play on a different line next season). I agree that Goodrow fits Hynes' style and system, but I'm not interested in actively pursuing him and that contract.

Would the Predators do something like Kunin and Myers for Bailey?
