There's no room for him on Nashville's roster after they drafted Jones. With Weber, Jones, Klein and Ellis ahead of him on the depth chart, there is no way they were ever going to be able to keep him.
Josi too.
Hey, a couple people said they'd have kept Ballard if he was making less money. Enter Blum. Fast skating, puck rushing defenceman who's weak defensively. Sounds familiar. Much less physical than Ballard, but at least he can play the right side and cost less.
Yeah, this could be a good Ballard replacement at hopefully a fifth of the cost.
I don't follow Nashville much, is Blum simply a guy that couldn't make the transition to the NHL? This place was crazy about him and Franson like three years ago.
