I don't see why Vancouver would trade EP for that

If VAN were to trade him for futures, how much more would you expect them to get? This is more than the four 1sts they'd receive if they lost him to an offer sheet.

In the unlikely situation they trade him, if they target a futures only package they’d want at minimum 1 very high end piece included, which Nashville doesn’t have

What would you expect them to realistically get?

The teams that have an equivalent high end piece to give up for him likely wouldn't do it. Why would someone give up a Kent Johnson or Mason McTavish when they are younger and more cost controlled? Cap space means everything right now and Vancouver doesn't have it. Seems unlikely they'd get a big piece like that

Woah, now that’s some delusional thinking! More than 4 1sts? You aren’t seriously calling Cody Glass equal to a 1st are you?

I would count Wood as a high-end piece, but there's a lot of fluff here. I know the Tkachuk trade is a bad example because of its very non-traditional return, but a top-10 center should be worth the same as a top-5 wing. I see this package as similar in value to the Meier trade, not the Tkachuk trade.

It really depends on how many suitors there are that can agree to an extension with him, but if there's a bidding war I would want Kemell or even Askarov as the centerpiece instead of Wood. Of course if there aren't many suitors or Pettersson is picky, we could end up with a Fiala situation, albeit more expensive since EP is the better player.

Overall it would have to be a bit more futures-oriented, since EP leaving may trigger another rebuild

Glass doesn't have the value of a 6OA pick anymore, but he'd still be worth a later 1st (like the 26OA pick the guy that was the best part of the return for Meier, that pretzelcoatl said this return was similar too - I gotta strongly disagree with that hot take). Anyone who still subscribes to the Glass is a bust takes hasn't paid attention since NSH gave him the proper development VGK never did.

I'm not advocating for the trade. I think NSH is better off keeping their futures than selling the farm for an expensive player who's already in the prime of his career. Some of these "NSH doesn't have the assets" comments are outlandish though. The Preds do have one of the more loaded prospect pools, and more than a full slate of draft picks. It's not like they're a BOS, PIT or VAN - teams with at most 1-2 good prospects.
