Interesting stuff on this Fourth Period Report:
"When news spread that the Nashville Predators were willing to listen to just about everybody on their roster, many were surprised that list included left wing Filip Forsberg."
"Teams will be lining up for Forsberg – the Bruins, Montreal Canadiens, Philadelphia Flyers, Calgary Flames and New York Islanders will all inquire if they haven’t already done so – and I’m curious what the Predators will want in return. Does GM David Poile require a young, proven NHL talent in a deal, or will he go the futures package route?
And perhaps more importantly, if a trade takes place after the season, will Poile be the one doing the negotiations? Whispers are slowly getting louder that Poile will seek a new General Manager to run the ship while he remains with the club in his President of Hockey Operations role."
