Does he occasionally takes faceoffs? I dont mean being forced to after the center is thrown out.
Well at least now I know. Feels weird thinking of him as a winger now lol.

At this point I hope anyone but Pittsburgh, LA or Chicago wins. So tired of the NBA type championship rotation

All this post tells me is that you have no idea what you're talking about. Poile and Laviolette would have brought Fisher back even if Bonino had 100 points this year. One has literally zero to do with the other.

In case you haven't noticed, and by your post it appears you havent, Preds don't need to make moves just to appease the fanbase any more. This was a hockey based decision. Fisher instantly improves this team.

He would've already signed I think but notice how theyre waiting for the deadline. Gives Poile a chance to make one more move, then sign Fisher to whatever cap space is left.
This team, management, city, are so hungry for the cup. Fisher is gonna help tremendously wether we notice it or not. Poile keeps stacking chips.

The Preds have something like 15 million in deadline cap space. He isn't sneaking around trying to save some extra cap, he literally just now decided he wants to play again and started skating, he's going to skate and practice to get into game shape and then sign. No sense forcing Nashville to waive someone when Fisher likely won't be ready to actually play in a game for a couple of weeks at minimum. They should hand out tinfoil hats around here.
No he isn't. The same as last year, yes. He was much better the year before, at least in p/60.

No. There is nothing in the rules about the timing of signing other than it has to be before the TDL

No it's called building a competitive/deep hockey team, intelligently. He is a UFA that is going to sign a new contract. This isn't some area 51 story. It's pretty black and white
problem is he wasn't getting 4 million last year or the year before. 12 points for 4 million is bad. they expected more and now they think maybe fisher can pick up some of the slack. I doubt it.
Then if that's the case, they'd better put him on the PP a hell of a lot more then what they're currently doing. Cutting someone's PP time 70-80% is a pretty big cut and comes with the expected decrease in PP production.
Additionally why would they have expected a big increase in production just because they gave him a raise? He signed the old contract 3 years ago. Things change and salary gets adjusted based on the market. But anyone who expected much of an increase in production had unrealistic expectations to begin with.

Hey! You suck!
He's also coming off an injury which is another reason I think his play has gotten better as of late.
Why not? One of our darling favourite posters started a Preds SCF GDT on our board last year. A few of our posters will talk all day about how much Poile is better at being a GM than Armstrong. (If you're willing to listen). Heck, maybe we should just merge our boards?

Interesting, he is going to bump someone out of the line and it's going to take the rest of the regular season (at best) to get game ready. I like Fisher but concerned if he's going to be a help over what they are currently icing, even at 4C with his long lay off.

It's not like we're going to throw him into the fire right away. He'll probably get a week or two of practices in and then play a 10 minutes for a few games and see where he's at. I'm assuming in the 8 months off he hasn't forgotten how to win a faceoff and he still knows where to be on defense, which is really helpful even if he's only a 4th liner and he's likely going to bring a lot more offensive skill than most 4th liners have.
