NHL Rumor: Nashville Predators Seeking Top-Six Forward

Sportsnet: When asked by Elliotte Friedman from FAN Hockey Show about Nashville Predators coach Barry Trotz’s comments and any five-on-five issues facing their five-on-five play, NHLRumors.com transcription Matt Marchese responded “Uh well I can tell you this; Nashville right now has set their bar very low”. ** NHLRumors.com transcription Matthew Marchese stated “Oh no doubt about it; right now in Nashville the bar is pretty low”. Just win one, it seems. Barry Trotz recently stated, if we don’t get things going then I will begin our rebuild plan, something which was unexpected so early in the season but is nonetheless happening here and now. How hard do you believe he’s working the phones right now, and should this trend continue, what types of players would he have available to him? Since as (Mike Futa pointed out yesterday in our group chat), they don’t usually hand out no moves and no trades as often, there may be many players available if this situation continues to deteriorate further. NHL Rumors: Los Angeles Kings Not Looking to Make Changes Now Friedman stated “I don’t believe we are at that stage yet, though. To my mind, he seems intent on motivating his team – there’s no denying it there – by sparking interest within their group and encouraging more talent into Los Angeles.” Number two, he’s still searching for his center; that much was clear in previous interviews and discussions. However, top-six centers can be hard to come by in today’s market – those top six centers require at least six studs D for best chances at finding one! People generally resist giving up possessions they find desirable; there’s always someone looking for it and finding one can be tough. I believe when Trotz spoke about starting his rebuild plan he meant bringing in younger players from Milwaukee rather than giving any up entirely. There are some promising young prospects for them, so maybe giving them an opportunity is warranted… But I just feel as though when he talked about “rebuilding”, he wasn’t really suggesting taking apart this Nashville team completely and rebuilding from scratch. Matty, I can understand your point but do not believe they need to move so swiftly following what happened last summer. Personally speaking, however, my feeling was more about some of their children waiting longer before making their choice; perhaps that way they might increase the odds earlier.” Marchese: “Well, last night was an entertaining hockey game between these two clubs that saw both sides battle hard in an entertaining contest. Logan Thompson really shined for Team Canada last night – I’m beginning to buy into what you are offering me here – making for some intense battles on both ends and creating quite the spectacle! Overall it was really well played.” Nashville seems to be missing something; their five-on-five play has struggled, while power play performance has improved greatly. They currently rank within the top five for power play goals this season; however, five on five is their primary concern right now. When looking at this team you might think to yourself: ‘Okay, they certainly possess talent; perhaps, with perseverence they could come through this.” How can one fix five-on-five. That is a roster construction issue at this point.” NHL Rumors: Colorado Avalanche may fall short in net Jeffrey Friedman has suggested this may be happening: he believes its down to roster construction issues as they’ve had holes at both center positions; with two center slots currently unfilled and lacking capable talent available as replacements They’ve tried out many players at Florida. Tommy Novak and Colton Sissons both got shots there at one time or another before Novak and Sissons went down with injury; now we know both are out as we wait to see their lineup in Florida with two centremen out, which could potentially change drastically given Novak and Sissons are injured and we still don’t have an answer as to who their second-line center might be.” “Have you subscribed to our YouTube channel yet?
