Description

Preds management decides to hold someone accountable and rebuild this team. It's going to be tough to get out from under all of the long-term contracts on aging players, so move what you can and get some young guys/picks.

Boudreau or Brunette hired.
Resign Lankinen and split games with Askarov. Juuse is the best asset on this team. Love the guy, but it makes sense to move him.
EDM gets eliminated early because of their D. Ken Holland rage trades for Ekholm.

Formenton, Alex [Reserve List]
Pettersson, Oskar [Reserve List]
2024 1st round pick (OTT)

OTT

Fabbro, Dante [RFA Rights]
Saros, Juuse

Additional Details:

No idea if the value is right, but if JBD is ready to come up for the Sens, he's immediately filled by Fabbro. Saros in exchange for a 1st, a disgruntled player, and lower level prospect. Trade occurs at 2023 draft, which will cause the Preds crowd to riot.

Barrie, Tyson
Puljujärvi, Jesse [RFA Rights]

EDM

Ekholm, Mattias

NSH

2023 2nd round pick (VGK)

I've never understood the Preds ownership love for Poile. They must think is a King or Pope.....he has to die before he gives up his job. So much mediocrity for years.

Would Preds fans get behind this trade, I wouldn't think moving Fabbro and saros would cost more.
Fabbro can fill the spot JDB should eventually and this move also opens up the goalie position for the Sens very well.

Not sure what the deal with Formenton is, I think it is still tied to the World Junior scandal. I had heard that every time already had a chance to trade for him and no one wanted him for cheap, so not sure how much that will change by the summer.

Nashville is not making that OTT trade with Formenton and it's a very underwhelming return.

Ekholm's value is probably a touch higher than two cap dumps.
