Do not pickup Ghost

Haula should be the must sell not sure why he's not included

Im hesitant to sell Ekholm, especially with the defensive pipeline being undersized offensive defensemen. Only move Ekholm if offered an elite forward prospect with a track record of providing offence. I think the Preds should resign Granlund (can still trade at deadline, and resign in offseason after expansion). He is a favourite of Hynes, players in all situations. Ideally, pawn Duchene to Seattle. !00% open to trading Arvidsson hes lacked production and the PReds need a top6 spot for Tomasino next szn

Im all-in on trading guys like Boro, Benning, Grimaldi, Haula,

I think I agree with all of this, except for trading Arvidsson. If someone comes in with a great offer for him - sure, but his trade value is at an all time low right now. I think it would be wiser to wait awhile for his untenably low shooting % to rebound somewhat. He's got a lot of term left, and it's not an expensive contract. NSH can afford to be patient here.

Agreed NSH can be patient. The great thing is his contract. $4.25m, you can play him anywhere in top9 even on 3rd line if he isn't performing. Hopefully the young guns do push him down the middle6 so he isn't relied on to score 30

Exactly. Arvidsson's not like a Fiala, where he only fits on a scoring line. You can even plunk him on a 4th line, and he can contribute there. He used to get deployed all over the place, to help spark slumping teammates. Maybe some time with guys like Trenin, Kunin or Olivier can have a the same effect for him.

Nashville could trade Jarnkrok he's on a solid contract with 2 years. It would be very attractive to a contending team

Kokkonen, SDA, 2nd 2021 and 3rd 2022 for Arvidsson and Granlund (50% retained)

Why not sell Granlund and resign in offseason?

I am also good with Trading Haula. Just don't know if there is a return out there for him. Now that Ghost has cleared, I would absolutely be shopping Ekholm to Philly with Ghost returning and I would be asking for a HAUL. Frost, 1st, +

If NSH is trading Ekholm, they need to play a Davies/Farrance/Allard, not another undersized offensive defensemen who makes 4.5m and isn't producing. Ghost is also turning 28 in April.

The Preds would get a haul, and Ghost would more so be included for a cap dump

Perfect. I am not looking for Ghost to be productive. He's a body to fill while the Preds rebuild (which will take 3 years min) and its a bonus if he somehow turns his game around he could be flipped later with salary retained on a shorter contract. Its low risk with potential reward.

Wouldn't you rather play Davies/Farrance in that role, let them develop for 3 years so that the preds can be competitive in future.
Banking on Ghost to find his offensive prowess in a place like Nashville doesnt seem like a logical destination. Most players who come to NSH receive a massive drop in offensive production.

It be a different story if it was 2019 he was 26 coming off a down year. But hes almost 28, 3 years removed from 60 point season with 3 years left on contract. If Preds want to rebuild they have to play the youth. 4 D prospects are ready to enter the lineup. Carrier has looked great, Allard/Davies have produced well In A, are ready for a chance. Farrance dominated last two years in NCAA he is the most interesting of the group.

I want future assets. Quantity and quality. If that means taking a contract off another team that’s bad for a few years but also has potential to turn into even more assets, I’m 100% on board. Having Ghost won’t limit or hurt Fattance or Fabbro as far as development
