Thread: What happened to Turris
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JayTea</b></div><div>So do you think he'd be a good player for a different team? I know the Preds don't want to have $6m sitting in the press box, but they also don't want to sell low on a guy they just gave up assets for. Plenty of teams could use a center if he can bounce back to being a 50 point player for another few years. What do you think the Preds would accept for him?</div></div>

I think he could be a really good player for alot of teams including the Preds. If (knocks on wood) something happened to one of our guys plugging in Turris would be a very manageable situation. If as has been speculated there was a personal issue I think he would be traded for a bag of pucks or waived if no offers. If its a lineup decision he wont be traded till after the season unless a really good offer comes along. Trade value is a fickle beast. Preds dont have any cap concerns so unless there is drama involved no need to rush.

This is a team spot that requires chemistry you cant move everyone to lesser roles to make room for a player that wont make the lines/team better than if left alone, regardless of their salary. If Carr doesn't blow the staff away I would expect to see Trenin given a longer look before moving Duchene to wing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>herzausstein</b></div><div>I think there's something going on between him and Lavi. Turris has played well this year but Lavi is currently playing 2 AHLers and letting Turris ride in the pressbox. Something going on beyond what we see on the ice.</div></div>

My friend you shouldn't drink the OTF kool-aid. The conspiracy theory drivel over there makes it near impossible to read. The 2 "AHLers" play a different position and offer totally opposite skill-sets. Bottom line for me is that GMDP would not allow Turris to sit in the pressbox if it would hurt the Preds. Regardless of what you think of Lavi that should be enough.

To the original question there isn't a spot for him. The top 3 centers have cemented their spots and Turris doesn't belong on a checking line. Wing experiment failed. Turris has played fine when in the lineup but he doesn't improve any of our current lines when on the ice. Simple.
