Thread: Preds going for it
Bad all around for Nashville except for Rakell but that doesn't make sense for Anaheim

Using your best trade chip to get rid of Duchene is a non-starter. We can easily handle Duchene's contract caphit for the near future. Buying him out would hurt but it's still better than getting basically nothing for Ekholm. Beyond that it doesn't even save us caproom. Those three from Detroit cost 7.65M in capspace and then necessitates the Arizona trade which puts the total caphit at 13.125M when Duchene (who is still better than either of the forwards on that return) and Ekholm (who is better than Goligoski) cost 11.75M. Add in Trenin, Davies, and the other young players that are playing well and it's a wash. So it makes the team worse, necessitates another bad trade, and then doesn't make the team better.

Trading our 2 top prospects (Tomasino and Farrance) for a couple depth pieces would be ridiculous.

Rinne goes nowhere. He has a NMC and has stated he plans on ending his career in Nashville.

Anaheim doesn't have any use for a UFA to be and 2 players with 1 year left. Evangelista is one of our better prospects but isn't enough to get Rakell all by himself. This wouldn't be enticing for Anaheim.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>For the most part, I'm down for this.

With all that cap space, I wonder if they would go after anyone in FA -- (I also think Rinne will sign for less if he does return, so they'd have a bit more there too). Maybe someone like Hoffman, Schwartz, or re-signing Granlund? Maybe someone like Laughton, Coleman, or Hyman?

However, a Josi - Ellis // Ekholm - Carrier // Farrance - Fabbro might just be the best defensive core this team has ever had.</div></div>

It would be good but I like the way the team's handled itself defensively in Ellis' absence has impressed me. I'd like to move away from 1 of the aging dmen while they still have good value. Ekholm has been more durable then Ellis and I think Ekholm stabilizes the defense more than Ellis. I left all sorts of capspace because i'd like to leave room for extending Forsberg, Ekholm, and Kunin
