Thread: Potential Look at the End of the Year

UFA trades all make sense regardless of team success this season, NSH has enough young talent ready for a shot at the roster
Cousins, Benning, Rittich would be the ones to keep "for a run"

It all comes down to Forsberg/Ekholm
They won't get true value for Forsberg the impact left will not be replaced. If he truly has lost touch with management a trade is only outcome but they will have to get a scoring threat prospect

Ekholm seems more likely to stay, especially after the Ryan Ellis trade. He loves NSH, clearly a leader on the team and it makes sense to keep Josi/Ekholm as the two veteran D let fabbro, myers, carrier, farrance fill out the depth chart

I think its fair to assume you are not familiar with NSH lineup, players or prospects

Hopefully Poile upgrades Grimaldi

and waives Harpur...

Thread: I feel like theres one more move to be made

They definitely need a LW who can push Tolvanen/Kunin for a top6 spot. Saad, Tatar, even Ritchie would be good fits

Forward lines are spot on
Dont think Myers can handle playing with Josi (maybe Fabbro cant either) it will be interesting to see how it plays out

Im interested in Saad and even a Wennberg type to push Jeannot down and Olivier out

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 28, 2021 at 10:36 a.m.

Thread: Rumors

I would be surprised if Getzlaf landed in NSH at this point in his career

but you know Poile will add a few bottom 6 forwards as he does every offseason

Thread: RFAs and a Goalie

I really hope we have seen the last of Ben Harpur, especially with the Myers acquisition

But sadly, the Poile/Hynes duo will most likely bring him back

One of Farrance/Davies/Allard needs to be on the roster (Preds usually carry 8)

Thread: Let me dream

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Arvidsson was very good analytics this season just rotten puck luck</div></div>

His defensive play improved and his analytics aren't bad considering his drop in production

But he was a healthy in the playoffs and his puck possession has drastically fallen off. Injuries piled up, hurt his speed which was a large part of his game.
Hopefully he can get healthy and turn things around in LAK although it seems unlikely

Thread: 21-22 Preds

Pretty spot on assuming Granlund returns. I think Haula will return either way.

I'm not sure im on board with the Ekholm-Fabbro pair. I'd switch Fabbro and Carrier. Can't see Myers ready to play with Josi and Ekholm needs an offensive partner

With todays news about Askarov playing 2 more years in Russia, this can help in the backup goalie search with the ability to hand out a 2 year deal

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 21, 2021 at 12:21 p.m.

Thread: The time for Youth is now

Pretty much the same lineup I would project.

Not sure the Ekholm-Fabbro pair stays together, i'd switch Fabbro and Carrier

Novak is interesting. Would love to see him get a shot. It would probably be Cousins/Olivier on 4th line tho

Backup G is a toss up, not a huge fan of adding Koskinen but NSH won't get anything special to backup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gracefullycurs3d</b></div><div>I think Seattle has a great option either way in St. Louis. Either they take and keep Dunn, or take and flip Tarasenko for picks. No losing option from the Blues pick</div></div>

Yes agreed.
Im jsut referencing Seravallis tweets. He stated Tarasenko was not selected. and confirmed McCann was selected

Thread: Most realistic scenario

I think they will keep Glass as a center, probably as the 3C at least to start

Same with Myers he will probably get a look with Josi, although I can't see his hockey IQ holding up on top pair and I'd keep him away from Ekholm

I'd like to see Tomasino in top6 but like Tolvanen they will shelter him on third line to start the year. Which could help Glass

Thread: Sticking with the new theme

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SnipeRV</b></div><div>I don’t hate it, I like your thinking. But I do wonder, why not just resign Granlund for less instead of giving up the assets for Buch? He is about 85% the player that Buch is and we already know he fits Hynes system. Plus we won’t have to give up our first rounder.</div></div>

Yeah I called this GM sticking with the new theme which is getting younger and bigger. Buch is 6'3 and 26
You could swap Killorn out for Granlund contract

But ur right I cant see the Preds investing high picks in a player rn anyways
It will most likely be Granlund and Haula back next year

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 19, 2021 at 9:44 p.m.

Thread: Buch

Was tinkering around with this exact move.

Buchnevich checks a lot of boxes the preds are looking for in their "competitive rebuild"

Value would be interesting ... I think this is a bit of an overpay considering hes not signed but depends what NYR is looking for/other teams are offering

If Johansen is selected in expansion

Forsberg has to play with Duchene

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenXHockey</b></div><div>They could take sissons if they believe that more ice time could get him back to 30 points or better.</div></div>

I think the 5 year term will scare them away, especially if they are taking some big contracts. I would have more faith in Jarnkrok scoring 30+ than Sissons, and a 1 year deal they can easily move on from if it doesnt work out

Thread: Expansion

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>I wonder if something complicated ends up happening with Duchene or Johansen going to Seattle, likely with some retention.

They're both coming off ****ty seasons but if Nashville retains 2-3 mil they become a lot more appealing.</div></div>

They are already eating 2mil from Turris buyout and losing Johansen or Duchene doesnt make the preds any better. So including picks to get rid of them (that could end up being high picks with a poor season) would be awful for building their slim prospect pool

NSH also has cap space and is not a contender, I dont believe they have to move a contract right now
