Nashville prediction

Created by: Nik_SH
Team: 2021-22 Nashville Predators
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 30, 2021
Published: Jul. 30, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
There's no 1st 2nd or 3rd line. All three lines will have +/- same ice time.
Tolvanen has best chances to score a lot of goals with Forsberg and Duchene.
Granlund and Kunin were very good together, Jeannot should replace Järnkrok in that trio.
Duchene-Glass-Tomasino simply good line with creative players, which has tons of skills. However, there's no guarantee, that they will be good. Not only just as line, but like individuals.
4th line - Herd line, just no more comments.
I like Grimaldi, but he doesn't fit Hynes system. So, let's trade him. Let him play (with any team). I would like to see the Borowiecki trade too, but it's seems more unlikely.


P.S. To be honest this team doesn't look really bad. So, probably, they can make playoffs. However, I still very doubt, that they can win SC.
Hopefully, they will finish as one of the worst team in the league. Likely they will not have a chance to make that 32nd and 31st spot (thanks to Arizona and Buffalo), but, what about 30th-27th?. Next draft should be good enough to be happy with 4th or even 8th OA pick. So, let's go deep, Preds! :D
*Hope they can overcome themselves and finishe at the last place in 2023. I really, really want to see Bedard or Michkov on that team.

This all seems fairly reasonable. I think Benning would play over Boro there though, even though he’s a RHD. I just don’t know how Duchene is gonna do playing wing with basically two rookies.

Another option could be reuniting Forsberg/Duchene/Granlund and seeing what they can do.

Forsberg - Duchene - Granlund
Tolvanen - Johansen - Kunin
Jeannot - Glass - Tomasino
Herd

Either way, this team won’t be a bad team — but they also won’t be good. They should miss the playoffs considering the improvements made by nearly all centra division teams — STL, WPG, CHI, DAL. But hopefully NSH can turn that into a high draft pick.

I don’t really get the granlund signing. Signing him makes us better but not Stanley cup contender so what’s the point. Play our younger guys get a high draft pick 1-5 hopefully somehow win the draft lottery for the first time ever. Get a generational talent in wright. Our young guys got some valuable playing time and the retool begins. Sign forsberg and ekholm if they want to stay or dump them if they haven’t signed by the deadline which both of them will bring back a pretty good prospect and a 1st which goes along with the rebuild. I wanna win a cup one day and this team we have right now doesn’t get it done unless somehow saros goes on an unbelievable tear like rinne did in 2017
