Nashville will keep Jarnkrok and Sissons

Do you see Nashville having interest in Hornqvist though?

Given his age and contract I doubt it.

If they were interested there would have to be a similar contract going the other way.

Fair enough. I feel like he's the player that just makes sense to move. I dont know if there is a team that would want him and a team that he'd agree to go to..

It is indeed quite a puzzle. He seems to be on the decline and still has more term on his contract than most teams would like.

there is so much depth in WBS it's not worth signing 4th line players.
Bjorkqvist, Angelo, Almeida

Did anyone watch the Prospect game?
I swear I think they are going to go young on defense next year. JPO and Marino. Just from the way they talk about them.

I'm a preds fan, Nashville declines

The problem is I cannot see those guys being treated as #13 forwards.. they should be playing. Id also love to see Marino, Addison or POJ make the team, but I feel like wed have to move out one of our current defensemen.

If they are going to make the jump they are going to make it this year or next. They aren't young. BJorkqvist is 22 angelo is 23. They aren't under weight developing players anymore. They are either making the jump or they aren't. It might take a 1/2 year on Bjorkqvist but Angelo been in the system a full year now. So I don't think it's impossible to say they move in.

I think that's the plan on the defense. I think that's why they traded for Marino. He's 22, he'll be ready to come in next year if he has the talent they say he does. RHD, Schultz writing is on the wall.
You can look at JPO and it's the same thing, they will be needing a LHD, especially when they dump JJ. He's going to get his year in WBS and if all goes well you can see the plan already. Dumo, MP and JPO on the left side.
Addison may never make it to the penguins. He racks up decent points but he's small and for all the points he racks up, they cough up a lot of goals with him on the ice. 65 point defense men shouldn't be a +2 and -18 in the minor leagues. We'll see. But I don't think they are looking at him that way at this point. He's only 19 and has time to develop still. But these other players are older and in JPO case he was a 1st round pick. But if you listen to them, it sounds like the plan is to go young.
