Confirmed Signing with Link: [NSH] Predators sign Mike Fisher (1 year, $1 million)

[NoNecksCurse]

Does this upset the balance of power in the Central?

i would say no but it's never a bad thing to have a fisher around. the central is insane any way you look at it.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

His wife is insanely rich. No need to chase a big money contract late in his career. Retirement = no waivers. Connecting the dots it seems like he just wanted to take half the season off to rest his body & spend time with the family, then come back for another Cup push with Nashville.

Yea makes sense. Good for Fisher and Preds.

 

[maplepred]

He isn't going to be traded. This is a 37 year old coming back for likely only one year, it's only going to affect the fringe NHL players like Aberg or Salomaki.

He asked what we would want for bonino, not fisher.

And to be honest I am not sure but would love to send bonino in a package for JVR

And I responded with regards to Bonino. Signing a 37 year old for 1/4 of the season doesn't affect Bonino. He isn't going to be traded.

Ok I see what your saying. I just think we could move him or jarnkrok. Keeping jarnkrok in expansion draft as third line centre isn’t helping us much when we could have Neal.

Jarnkrok is playing wing now and doing just fine. Bonino and Jarnkrok are also two of the best defensive forwards on the team and play a ton on the Preds top 10 PK. I don't think they're available

Well Predators just gained back quality vet center. See them for sure doing a trade as they should be all in it for cup.

 

[Ignatius]

Eagerly anticipating Value of: threads on HF trade board for Ole'Fish.

No thanks.

 

[DesertPenguin]

If he still has the itch, I'm surprised he didn't make himself available for the Olympics.

Chase for the cup is worth more and to Nashville where they call home.

 

[Dog]

No thanks.

Bonino rather not but was like 1st and Aberg or something would do it.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I mean, you could always represent your country in the Olympics as a tune up and sign with the team the day after. Doesn't have to be an either/or.

TOR gets Bonino & 1st for JVR, then flips Bozak to the Pens for a 2nd. I'm good with this.

He may have run out of gas by the time last season's playoffs started. He had 4 assists in 20 post season games.

If he can get the rust off in the regular season, he might be able to contribute in the playoffs more than he did last year.

Thing is he played pretty well, he had a ton of chances, he just was snake bit all to hell and back.

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Hmmmmm............ Free depth I guess.

 

[kittiecarlyle]

Makes sense and worth it for Nashville to be sure. Saying that, what's the over under on him getting injured or the # of games he plays.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Where does he fit in the roster? Obviously not the top 3 center spots

 

[Soundgarden]

I'd probably put him over Bonino at no.3.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Wait - I thought Johanson, Forsberg, and Turris were all centers? Or has Forsberg been officially pushed to wing?

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Forsberg has always been a winger. And our best forward.
Thinking about Peter?

 

[Soundgarden]

Forsberg's been a winger since he was drafted. Centers are Johansen, Turris, Bonino, Sissons, Jarnkrok(winger/center), and now Fisher.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

You wish it was Peter hahaha.

I dont know why I thought Forsberg was a center this entire time. Always wondered why they needed a center! Interesting. Definitely makes sense then if he is in a 4C role (if he hasn't been working out as much I doubt he gets 3C)

I believe until he was drafted he was listed as either a winger or a center. That could be what threw you.
