honestly I can see that as something anyone would want although he sucked pretty much all of last year. but, I highly doubt we will part with him unless it's a great return for us. why part with a semi-young great player because anyone worth trading him for will be requiring similar pay so there's no benefit on the cap side of it.

I miss capgeek.

You guys need a shake-up in your D corps ... if you could get an upcoming prospect for offense to replace him plus a stud D man (Nashville has a LOT of those) for near the same money, the return would be worth it, especially down the road.

Holy crap I'm so pumped about what's going to happen during the offseason. Predators are going to make some moves and I feel they could come back stronger next season than they were this season (they were the only team to come away with very decisive victories over the Blackhawks this postseason, but injuries and inconsistency hurt us).

Buffalo is my main team (nearest my birthtown)... and the rebuild is looking to truly take off. They need a netminder and some more offense (and they're likely grabbing Eichel in the draft and might even grab Eddie Lack off Vancouver).

You from or live in Nashville?

I'm not too bummed about the cup. The Bolts looked tired all game.

Just recently moved from Clarksville, but in the Huntsville, AL area now. Still die-hard Preds fan though. So is the wife. I now have more Predators gear in the house than Sabres gear.

well if maata would stay healthy he would be one of our top D men and he's only 20. kid is an absolute beast.

we need to drop some age off of the D and gain some wingers who compliment sid and geno.

This thread needs some dust knocked off it.

How about Ryan Johansen for Seth Jones yesterday... whoa.

Also - The Preds are nowhere near where I thought they would be at this point in the season. Furthermore, I have a man crush on Ryan O'Reilly and I still can't get a damn jersey on Shop.NHL.com.

I have still enjoyed hockey quite a lot this season so far - the Sabres, while still a bottom tier team, is showing tons of potential and is a lot more fun to watch than last year.

I'm riding the hell out of my couch tomorrow night with a case of Stella because, in a rare turn of events, a Sabres game is televised down here in good ol' AL, so I will enjoy Sabres/Blackhawks as well as RyJo's first game as a Predator against Colorado.

The trade took me by surprise, I didn't expect Jones to be traded truthfully. However I feel if Johansen can return to his form of last year then Nashville won that trade by far.

Now CBJ needs to address whose gonna be there #1 center, that's a huge void that needs to be filled. All that past Stanley cup winners possess an amazing #1 center

Glad to hear your gonna enjoy watching some Hockey tomorrow.
My team (Caps) have a meeting with the Rangers tomorrow, so hopefully we take them down again.

FFFUUUUUUUUUU Pittsburgh!!!!

[FPenvy]

One down 3 to go.

[RicerX]

Good lord Pittsburgh is on a tear. If there's one team in the east that can knock out the Capitals, it's them.

Neither TB nor Detroit look good.

STL/CHI is going all 7. I don't want to admit it, but I think whoever wins that series is going to the cup final from there... and might just end up winning the whole thing. None of my brackets reflect that, but after seeing some of the game last night... none of my brackets are looking good.

We are going to see if you're right. Holtby is definitely nabbing the Vezina trophy without a doubt. He has been lights out all year long, and he has to show up for every single playoff game because that whole team is reliant upon that happening to go deep.

I finally get to see the Preds tonight... at 9:30CT. I hope I can stay awake. Ugh.
