Team: 2018-19 Nashville Predators

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 23, 2018

Published: Aug. 24, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Trade idea for Fun. Trying to gauge possible return of Roman Josi. Personal belief that one of our pricier dmen (Subban, Ellis, Josi) will be shipped off to improve our forward group and also as expansion draft considerations.

Edmonton Trade:

Nashville trades Josi + Hartman for some of the young prospects from Edm. Yamamoto and Jones. They get a replacement depth LHD (Russell). He either waives at the expansion draft or gets bought out so he doesn't have to be protected. Puljujarvi gets a fresh start in a new team. Hartman goes the other way to give Edmonton another young NHL forward talent.

Phili (insert team here): Nashville clearing roster and cap space for Rangers trade. Theoretically we could probably keep him and his cap hit and have him run 4C but that's not a good use of money.

Rangers: Nashville brings in a big 2C/3C to help counter some of their lack of size on wings. Yamamoto/Fiala/Tolvanen are all on the smaller side. Hayes is also an upgrade on Bonino.


At expansion draft Nashville Protects:
Subban
Ellis
Ekholm
Forsberg
Johansen
Arvidsson
Fiala
Turris
Hayes
Puljujarvi

ET/Yamamoto are exempt leaving

Smith/Watson/Sissons/Salomaki/Russell/Hamhuis/Weber/Irwin/Bitetto exposed.
