What will be his role next year ?
Bottom pairing. Spot duty in the top 4 for injuries.

And hopefully offloading some rotation of the top-4 guys on penalty-killing perhaps too. Josi and Ellis in particular seemed burned out in the playoffs.Bottom pairing. Spot duty in the top 4 for injuries.
Im pretty surprised about this, preds fans were pretty upset about the comments he made before left smashvill. Water under the bridge? Preds fans ok with this?

Plus... well, things have changed for the better, so even though he should never have made those comments, he'll see some differences and I'm sure recognize what a dolt he was to make them. He's kind of already acknowledging that just by signing. Some reporter will ask about it at some point, and he'll have to admit how wrong he was and how amazing the crowds and atmosphere are today. Hopefully he's rehearsing how to say that the right way.Yes, those comments were from 8 years ago and he's back where he started so the joke is on him.
Some brakes need to be pumped here, hes a solid veteran, but hes fallen off pretty drastically since he left Vancouver
He's your average 3rd pair dman at this point with a solid resume and veteran experience
Would equate him to Oduya when the Blackhawks took a second flier on him. There just isnt that much left, but they are both warriors with a lot of miles on them

I think the 2 years is a stop gap for Poile. No guarantee that Fabbro signs with the Preds and if Ellis doesn’t resign, then Poile is somewhat covered next season.Could have been why nashville went 2 years (maybe they wanted to, don't know) caps only wanted someone for 1 year
He started his career in Nashville. Played his first 486 games with the Preds.He'll probably do pretty well in Nashville.
Hamhuis does have some chemistry with Weber from playing in Vancouver, though they didn't play together a ton. This is a great retirement contract for Hamhuis, and a nice touch to go back to where it all started.Oh thank god. Irwin - Weber isn't an awful pairing but Hamhuis would upgrade them to decent.
That thought when you look and see that Nashville was 8th in goals for and Washington was 9th last yearDefense only wont win you cups, this is still a game where you need to score goals to win games and Nashville doesn't have enough goal scorers. What good will more defense do for them?
