If Nashville is considering a full blown rebuild, I still think you keep Josi.

Trade guys like Duchene, Johansen, Granlund, Ekholm, Rinne, etc ahead of Josi. Retain salary as needed to get the best value in return, and then try and get a relatively quick turn around via those trades and keep something like Josi + Ellis + Forsberg going forward.

Both Suzuki and KK to start? Are you out of your mind?

No. No reason to fire sell Josi. Even if they did it would be a kings Ransom. High end offensive prospects and young offensive starts are what the preds will be after. I don’t see them trading Josi. He will be vital to the rebuild

 

[Mersss]

Well we're not looking to move him and if we were we wouldn't be looking to get assets that our other players could get back.

A+ young players your team wouldn't want to give up...like Suzuki and Kotkaniemi gets us talking.

Lol, good luck with that. You're not getting a young star for him, and he'll be too old to skat when the Preds gets out of the gutter.

Caufield and a 1st, no way you get Suzuki and KK lol. Give your head a shake

I guess then we'll just have to keep him and have him teach our kids how to be badasses for when the next generation takes over. Gosh darn. How horrible.

NSH has one of the most horrible prospect pool in the NHL, it'll take them at least 3-4 years to get out of there. By the time your kids are ready to play in the NHL, Josi will be somewhere else.

Our forward Pool is poor. We still have good defensive prospects. Josi will be vital for their progression. Forwards are another issue. We might have 2 forwards with promise

Exactly. I don't think Josi moves for a number of reasons - the guy is only 30 which isn't ancient for a defenseman and can be an important part of a rebuild.

This does not materially affect my point in any way.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I'm expecting Josi will retire as a Predator. Pretty sure he's expecting it too. What a bizarre thread. He's not going to get traded.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Would have to start with Suzuki and Kotkaniemi for me.



We're hoping for it.

I... eh

No. No reason to fire sell Josi. Even if they did it would be a kings Ransom. High end offensive prospects and young offensive starts are what the preds will be after. I don’t see them trading Josi. He will be vital to the rebuild

Asking for Suzuki AND Kotkaniemi isn’t really fire selling Josi. It’s getting the moon and back for him. Jesus

 

[LOUISVILLE ICE CARDS]

Did I ask for Suzuki or Kotkaniemi??? I said Caufield and other pieces. Yes asking for the moon for a player we have no reason to trade, is the Captain, reigning Norris winner and still having a productive season on a terrible preds team. I don’t see them trading him for people that can’t help develop the youth

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

People ask for the price of an 'untouchable' player and then get mad that it's too high. It doesn't matter if you think he's worth it (he's not), he's one of the team's best players, the captain, is signed long-term, has a NMC, and is going to finish his career in Nashville.

I think you start with Bouchard and Yamamoto.

Lol, good luck with that. You're not getting a young star for him, and he'll be too old to skat when the Preds gets out of the gutter.

Caufield and a 1st, no way you get Suzuki and KK lol. Give your head a shake

Uh...yeah. That's the point, he's not available without great young players/prospects coming back. Montreal doesn't get the current Norris winner for a late 1st and a team's top 5-15 prospects just because they want him. Maybe you should give your head a shake?

Yes, he would absolutely get a young star back and no, he's definitely not too old to still be a capable defenseman once we get out of the gutter.

NSH has one of the most horrible prospect pool in the NHL, it'll take them at least 3-4 years to get out of there. By the time your kids are ready to play in the NHL, Josi will be somewhere else.

Our prospect pool has moved up quite a bit the last two drafts and we'll have a top 5 pick in this years draft along with whatever we get for Arvidsson, Granlund and Ekholm/Ellis.

We can build upon Tomasino, Top 5 pick and Askarov as a solid base while still holding on to Forsberg and Josi for good vet presence.

I... eh



Asking for Suzuki AND Kotkaniemi isn’t really fire selling Josi. It’s getting the moon and back for him. Jesus

And...Why are we moving him without getting the moon and back? I suspect whatever you're offering we can get by trading another player. Josi would have to cost.

 

[beardawg]

Josi is one of my all time favs and I wanna see the guy win a cup, so I think I'd (sadly) be open to trading him. Expect nothing less than an EK65 return though

actually I ain’t offering nothing. I personally would have close to no appetite to acquire Josi. Very good player but our cap situation make it impossible to acquire him and without creating several holes in the line-up AND messing up our cap structure in the future.

You’ll also find that most teams don’t want to give away their best prospects/young players for a guy making 9M a year for 7 more years after this one and on the wrong side of 30 that a deal involving Josi and multiple young high end pieces is close to impossible to pull off.

Which is the point. We aren't giving him away.

And that's what we have been saying. He is not getting traded

 

[Tysonson3]

Look at the Karlsson trade for reference, remembering that Josi is already signed and for 2 mil less that him. 2 high end prospects, a first, a second, and a young-ish forward and defenseman back

aside from Norris who was a recent mid-first round pick, who’s the other high end prospect?

 

[Adam da bomb]

I’d say Karlsson coming off his Ottawa playoffs was one of the best D of the generation.

Doesn't matter. The habs aren't looking to move petry. Does that mean we will go ask for both Nico Hischier and jack Hughes to start the convo.

Erik Karlsson got traded for wayyy less than you're asking for so chill.

Karlsson was also on the last year of his deal and facing UFA. Even if you think Josi drops off at the end, you should be expecting 4-5 years of Norris level play (and $9 per is a pretty reasonable salary for that).
