Florida won’t say yes to that and I wouldn’t add skjei bracco and that pick in the leafs trade.

Leafs trade is really terrible. The Kreider trade looks good. And I don't think Florida accepts that. Swap Tippett for Borgstrom and the 5th for a 3rd.

Nashville isn’t in a buying position so no

Florida isn’t trading either Borgstrom or Tippett

The state of the Preds prospect pool is such that that trade proposal would be really problematic.

So no interest in making a serious playoff run before losing 2 top 6 wingers?

If you think Anderson and Fast will push the Panthers over the top you’re kidding yourself. Tippett and Borgstrom would be the best players in that deal.

I'm not really pushing for Tippett. He's good.

But honest question, have you seen Borgstrom's numbers this year?

Yes I have, your point? Doesn’t take away from his abilities. He’ll be fine

...is one of his abilities supposed to be generating points? or generating shots? I think if he was just getting unlucky and generating shots it'd be one thing, but his Shooting % is almost the same as Tippett's so it's not that.

Offensive ability doesn't really mean anything if it's not translatable to production. And the closer he gets to 23 without translating into production, it's unclear how much value he's going to have on the trade market. It's not even like he's the next Finnish center who's going to get a call up - that's Saarela. Who looks awesome.

This might be a change of scenery situation...
