Thread: Predators
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nativewulf</b></div><div>You nailed it he is a huge trade piece, so why is Nashville adding so much to this trade. Kunin is a big part of Nashville's plans and will be one of the few forwards they protect in the expansion draft. that first although in the second half of the first round is still a pick Nash needs if we're gonna rebuild or retool.

I also don't see Nashville moving Askarov until he comes over and plays in the NHL and we see what he's got. Why should Nashville give up a goalie prospect who's been compared to some of the most elite goaltenders in the past few decades for anything less than what you would ask for a starting goaltender. Breaking down the pick as taking the best player available makes it seem like they don't want him. He was the best player available yes, but he's also a big part of Nashville's future now. Why shouldn't they hold out and trade Saros in the future if Askarov comes over and makes an immediate impact.

Long story short, Askarov is untouchable unless the offer is too good to refuse or they're including him as a part of a package for a franchise player.</div></div>


Saros is already that and more. The guy is an unbelievable goalie, Nashville is still good enough to win now. Why would you not trade a prospect goalie that has never played yet in NA, why would they wait. I get it he can be as good as you say, but Saros is everything any team could ever need. He was outstanding in regular season, he stole them games in the post season, but you’d rather wait for this Russian goalie that they never even planned on taking in the draft. This team is ready to win with what they have, and when you are ready, you give up big prospects to make your current team even better.

Thread: Money Makers Shane Wright coming to save us
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>:tearsofjoy Yeah, they're definitely a good start. Hoping for Guenther in this years draft, and then we'll see what happens next year. I think it's a pretty safe assumption that we'll have a lotto pick next year anyway, which, if it somehow ends up as a Wright, Savoie, Lambert type pick, is another good building block. I don't think saying "Hey, we're going to tank!" is good for anyone. If there's additions that can be made that improve the team long term, awesome, I just hope we don't sell off players for the sake of selling them off.

If we can't get a good return on guys, we're better off trying to re-sign the Manson/Hampus/Rakell types and using them as players to ease the kids in.</div></div>

Very valid points. Mansons got the hockey IQ , was 5th place for Norris in 2016, he knows how to play the game, and Ricard Rakell (I call him Ricky racks) is one of the underrated under the radar players in the league.


Honestly I think Guenther is overhyped. Been watching him play for a while, he’s good but idk if he’ll be NHL caliber. I’d take a chance on a European or hope and pray somebody else falls to the ducks pick
