<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CM_Insane</b></div><div>True they may be cheaper but with the kids coming up for them they may prefer a better defensive player for Fabbro who wasn't playing until an injury. Van could add to them was just base off possible deal.</div></div>

NSH has multiple forwards in the A that are either NHL ready, or on the cusp of being so. Can't say the same about their current RD prospects. NSH will have more holes to fill on RD too, with Barrie (and possibly Carrier) not returning.

It's been a bit perplexing why Brunette scratched Fabbro so much, but he plays well with Josi. A guy who can play on the top defense pair is a lot more useful than a $4.75M depth forward, IMO. Especially when NSH already has several vet defensive forwards in the mix (Sissons, McGrattan, Smith, Jankowski).

Sujet: taking suggestions for NSHs next 3rd jersey in the comments
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>https://www.icethetics.com/concepts/exploration-in-nashville

I like the blue jersey in the link above as an option for a 3rd jersey. Ever since the winter classic designs came out, I’ve thought the walking saber-toothed tiger logo with the Nashville word mark would be a cool option for a jersey.</div></div>

I love that logo. Not a huge fan of the sleeve stripes with the numbers inside them on that mockup, but the rest of it is good.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nativewulf</b></div><div>We need a serious navy alternate. I don't know why it hasn't happened yet. Every fan I've talked too about it loves the silver, white and navy jerseys from the 2011-2012 season. I know Gold is our calling card, but switching to Navy and Silver for alternates occasionally would be fun</div></div>

I think the best way to give the fans the navy jersey they want, but maintain the gold identity is to pair a navy 3rd with gold pants and helmets. U of Minnesota does this with a white jersey, and it looks great. I think it could work with the Preds' colour scheme too.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeynutter</b></div><div>Josi this year, 78 points in 78 games, +11, a key cog is all minutes for Nashville yet he is continuously underated. Many insiders has pointed out that he probably deserves the Norris this year yet will probably finish #3. Makar has Toews as his partner whom in his own right does a lot to drive that pairing and enhance Makars numbers. (Yes makar is deserving too) Hughes took huge strides but his pairing in Hronek has be a huge benefits as well) Josi yet is always underrated and often viewed as substantial even when analytics points him is a great defenseman as well.</div></div>

Yes. he's a franchise player. Arguably the best defenseman in the NHL right now. A first ballot Hall of Famer. I was making fun of the guy who somehow thinks TOR couldn't use the guy, or that NSH would have to add to Josi in a trade for any of Marner, Nylander, or Morgan freaking Reilly.

I'm not opposed to Mangiapane as I think a change of scenery might help him out, but I don't think NSH would accept unless CGY were to retain salary then I think this would be better. Mangiapane has not been more productive than Novak and the thought of paying that price for a guy 2.3 million more expensive than Novak just doesn't make sense.

With NSH having an increase in dead cap from the Duchene buyout next year, the cap is a little bit more of a concern next year specifically, so for NSH to give up the player who has statistically been Josi's best partner and a 2nd, for a winger that NSH is taking a chance on, I'd rather be safe than sorry and if it goes poorly, NSH can retain at the deadline next year for a big return to recoup assets by trading him again with more retained salary.

Additionally, I'm not the biggest fan of the Stecher signing. If NSH moves a defenseman during the offseason, I'd rather just sign Statsney to a contract considering he has played well and has earned it. NSH can move either Lauzon or McD to the right side.
