Team: 2022-23 Nashville Predators

Initial Creation Date: May 24, 2022

Published: May 25, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Thoughts:

Offersheet Liljegren for 1 year max salary for a 2nd compensation. Toronto will have reservations in matching. Nashville can work out a more favorable long term contract or if he fails miserably and he won’t negotiate we don’t extend a qualifying offer and we wasted a 2nd but worth a shot

Kunin for Foegele swap. Both kind of struggled this year, around the same caphit, Kunin is a bit more physical but Nashville has that in spades and Foegele isn’t exactly lacking in that department. Both players fresh start new location.

Tolvanen for killorn. Tampa gets a young player with some upside Nashville gets an experienced player that’s proven a lot more. Don’t want to give up on Tolvanen but I also don’t think he’s going to be given the opportunity in Nashville that’ll best utilize his skill set. Hynes would likely love killorn.

At end of season, killorn’s contract expires and he probably takes a sweetheart deal to be back in Tampa which opens capspace for jeannot and carrier. Hopefully a rise in cap helps to give room for Fabbro and Liljegren but that’s a bridge that can’t be crossed till then.

Killorn is replaced through internal progression. Jeannot moving up and L’Heureux moving in (for example).


Lines
Glass is given a shot between Trenin and Jeannot to help them show they’re more than just physical players.

Not sure about McCarron on the 4th line but he was pretty acceptable this year. Maybe splurge and get a more traditional grinder on a 1 year cheap deal to take that spot.
