Let the Young Uns Play

Created by: herzausstein
Team: 2020-21 Nashville Predators

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Time to let the future come forward. No more UFA quick fixes. The team needs an injection of young talent. That only happens through trade or draft and letting them play.

I think Tomasino and Tolvanen could thrive next to Duchene. Will it work out? Maybe. If not, reset in the offseason. Tomasino and Duchene can drive play. Tolvanen is a good shot when given the space. Tolvanen + Tomasino are expansion draft exempt. This allows the team to go 4 + 4 into the draft if need be (Ekholm isn't traded).
Allows them to gauge how much Ekholm wants for an extension and then trade him if it's too much.
Allows them to sign Farrance in the offseason/trade deadline. Farrance has played with Fabbro in college so if Ekholm is traded put him next to Fabbro in the 2nd pairing. Jarnkrok is traded for 3rd pairing upgrade since i don't think more than 1 of Davies/Carrier/Allard are really ready for NHL time and Farrance won't sign until the College season is over. Davies/Allard/Carrier compete for the 3rd pairing. Tinordi plays 7th dman.
Get Trenin and Harper/Pitlick some NHL time and sign Blackwell as the 13th forward to ride the pressbox.

Turris is bought out or 2M retained for late draft picks/future considerations. He's still a good player but the situation is becoming a huge distraction. Pull the band-aid off.

I'd also like to carry 3G with Rinne playing mentor as Saros starts and Ingram plays back up.

Jarnkrok>Benning, EDM should add at least 4th round pick.

I made a similar ACGM like 4 months ago with Tolvanen and Tomasino on the 2and line with Duchene, but are they actually NHL ready let alone top 6 ready?

There are rumors floating around that Nashville will buy out Turris and use a contract like Tomasino's to counter balance the lost capspace. Tomasino looked great in camp. I believe both of them are close. How close is yet to be seen. I just don't want this team to make a big UFA move. The answer has to come from within or from trade. I think we should try something like this and if the team tanks trade Ekholm for an awesome futures package at the trade deadline and go into the expansion draft without having to worry about who to protect or make deals with seattle for them to take the player we want them to. Nashville regroups in the offseason and enters the following season in a much better position financially (cap) and as a team.
