Assuming they stay where they are in the standings for the next week or so.

My guess is they are buyers not sellers - they are only 5 games back of WC2 with two games in hand. Maybe hockey lateral trades to shake things up.

They'll wait until the TDL to be sellers if needed. NSH will probably see if the new coach sparks the team to a Playoff spot before making any major moves.

Apparently, they’re going to name a new coach tomorrow or sometime in the next little while so time will tell as to whether or not this team would be successful in the long run.

Not yet, still in the hunt at this stage. Closer to TDL they could become sellers

This could be another STL from last year. Potential team with bad coach - coach gets sacked and the new coach take them to the top...

Smith and Granlund have been out there for a bit now according to Friedman. No one has bit yet.

They are still in the hunt. It is too early to be a seller. If Nashville gets on a 5 or 6 game win streak, it will dictate what they do by the TDL. I don’t watch the Predators much. What is been the trouble?

*** Off note, but a hockey moment *** I was reading the history of the NHL. Gretzky had a 6 point game against the Maple Leafs on this day back in 1986. The Leafs beat the Oilers 11 - 9. I check the highlights.

It said a lot about the quality of hockey played today. Obviously in 20 goal game, defence is absence but there was any defensive coverage (stopping passing lanes .. etc) Imagine a game like that played today.
