Description

This is the scenario if Kane is out left on the LTIR until playoffs. It's unlikely, but Evander could be out until march, so maybe he rehabs the injury a little longer and we pull off what Tampa did in 2021.

I think it's obvious that the Oilers have a hole on a #2 LHD that Broberg isn't ready to fill and neither Kulak or Neimelainin should be playing there. Also a solid Dman like Ekholm could take pressure off Bouchard and help his development.

Would the predators consider a trade like this if they're firmly out of the playoffs at the deadline? They've never been shy of trading defensemen to retool before. Obviously this only happens if Nashville struggles

Drop the condition on the 4th coming from the Preds, and I like it for NSH.

What's wrong with Puljujarvi? I look at his metrics, he seems to be playing physically, decent defensively, he just can't finishing?

Id rather give you McDonagh and get less in return but id be ok with this from Nashvilles perspective.

I doubt edmonton is willing to give up that much for an aging dman though. Then again puljujarvi's stock has to be at an all time low

I'd prefer to ship McDonagh out too, but with his NTC it's less likely.
