Those pesky NMCs...

I'm not against it if girgensons, jost and okposo aren't back

Rather have Jost. Not locked into a 6 year contract that way.

There will be 4 years left.

True. He’s 30, and similar impact can be found for cheaper and younger imo. I usually don’t comment on these lower round trades, but it’s not like he’s some great mentor for the kids either.

Nashville cant afford another high paid forward and we need centers more than anything. Unless you take duchene back and leave what little centers we have alone, i dont see anything working out

How would he not be a great mentor? He play with heart and has 2 Stanley cups. Unfortunately the rangers hand put NMC like candy and wouldn't be able to keep him.

No reason for Panarin to waive to Nashville is there? Goodrow also, his N MTC just might mean no trade is likely.

I mean he won 2 cups and will play in his 80th playoff game tonight

You're right. Unlikely that high priced NMCs waive to a non playoff team, and those non playoff team are the only ones that can take on his cap. Although I'll never know why McDonagh waived from Tampa to Nashville.

I don’t subscribe to because he got two cups he’d be a good mentor, if you aren’t actually good. And he’s just not good. And never been good. He was literally brought in to do exactly what you both said for the NYR. How’s that working out? 1 assist in 14 playoff games, and horrible possession metrics. He hits though, I’ll give him that.

Preds are gonna have to pass. Panarin is entering his 30's... not ideal for a team in retool. Glass is also finally coming to form and we need centers.

He was going to be put on waives and Columbus agreed to claim him
