Confirmed Trade: [NYR/NSH] Cody McLeod for 2020 7th round pick

[Lion Hound]

Nashville looking to play a heavier game. Makes sense. WPG is the land of the giants.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Preds made their run to the Final with McLeod and then waived him midway through last season and honestly haven't been the same team since. He's not a gamebreaker, not going to make a difference on the scoresheet at all, won't play every night, but for a 7th round pick this move has more value to the Preds than a lot of you realize.

Are the Preds intimidated by the Jets' big D, or something? I'm not sure Boyle and McLeod are going to worry the Jets that much. Presumably, Poile isn't finished yet.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

The amount of "Poile is going for it. Pinch me" type of comments just to see the McLeod trade get posted was the funniest experience I've had on this site.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I'd love to see Adam Lowry and Cody McLeod throw em in a 2nd round playoff matchup even tho its a bade tradeoff for WPG.

First page of this thread has to be funniest in awhile. Just 0 to 100 real quick and then right back down to 0.

I will weep like a small child if this is the roster we go into the playoffs with

Laugh all you want. We didn't really have guys to stand up for any cheap antics, not just Jets, but against anyone.

 

[LCPreds]

Boyle = Watson replacement (different position but hopefully covers the size gap)
McCleod = Rinaldo replacement for regular season goonery

I seriously doubt these are Poile's true deadline movies. Could be done but I doubt it.

 

[God King Fudge]

Clearly, my post came before the trade was posted. Regardless of what moves the Preds make, they have a good team just how they are from the net out.

Was kind of the point. Declaring them the Cup winners because they were making another trade before even having a remote idea of what it involved was a bit silly.

This thread was hilarious to read

And Mcleod sucks, i hope we never dress him

 

[The Crypto Guy]

lol, we actually got something for him? Rangers win this trade.

 

[Foppberg]

You're saying this in a thread where he's dead on?

Actually the true story breaker was our own Kyle Keefe.

 

[Larry44]

Jesus C what is poile doing

Getting out ahead of the deadline?

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

More net running players to Nashville for the playoffs. Hopefully someday the NHL will follow the NFL's example and take serious steps to protect goalies. I'm not holding my breath and I'll be shocked if Filip Forsberg & Co. aren't hitting goalies all playoffs long.

 

[Hostile Offer]

How this guy keeps getting employed in the modern NHL baffles me.

 

[NewLife]

Let's celebrate!

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

O cmon Poile why... We have Rinaldo as our goon why we need 2???

 

[preds1]

Ehh, he's nearing the end of his career. Poile just getting the 2017 band back together and give the guy a final shot at a cup run. Has more to do with Poile being classy than filling a need on the team. Well, other than maybe add some missing grit to discourage late regular season cheap shots on core players.

 

[Machinehead]

My absolute least favorite Ranger of all-time. Good luck, have fun.

 

[aufheben]

Oh my god yes

I didn’t say he “broke” it, because that’s not worth anything. I said he was completely correct.

Just like Eklund is completely correct once a story breaks.

 

[Seachd]

Just like Eklund is completely correct once a story breaks.

Yeah, cause Dreger and Eklund have a lot in common.

I wish Mc luck in Nash
