News: Poile not changing coach (UPD: he lied), says anyone is available. possibly sellers.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

That was quick

 

[Emerz]

If your GM ever publicly states your coach is safe, he is as good as fired.

What's even the point? lol

 

[57special]

Mike Yeo incoming!

 

[I am Canadian]

Dermott, Johnsson & Bracco for Ekholm?

 

[Soundgarden]

Dermott & Johnsson for Ekholm?

That's bad.

 

[Mick Jagr]

Mike Yeo incoming!

Oh, dear god I hope not. That guy is NOT an NHL head coach and he was an awful assistant in Pittsburgh.

 

[AvatarAang]

Nylander for Josi?

Both sides say no? Just one?

Personally I think it's a bad move to mortgage the leafs future, but i still believe that trading Kadri was a huge mistake and I dont think the leafs will get past the bruins with this roster. I think Josi is good enough to get the leafs out of the east. Give Nylander's minutes to Johnsson/Kapanen and the loss of nylander won't sting as much.

Sorry if this is way off.

 

[These Are The Days]

Mike Yeo incoming!

Preds fans better be ready to jump off a cliff if that happens. He's Trotz without any of the endearing history, likability or a ring.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Mike Yeo incoming!

Oh my god please. PLEASE let it happen lol

 

[Jumptheshark]

Do not believe him

I wouldn't trade josi for 2 nylanders

Josi has 6 more points than Nylander and is WAY more valuable to our team than Nylander is to yours. He's not on the table.

We literally just got rid our coach, we're going to see how our core plays with a new coach. If we're not in the playoffs at the deadline we will think about moving UFAs like Granlund and Smith and guys like Bonino and Watson who are overall replaceable. You are not getting Josi. You are not getting Arvidsson or Ekholm for spare parts.

Bye bye Lavy!!

This is great news as a Preds fan!! I feel rejuvenated!!

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Lav finds work soon. I could see him either Dallas, San Jose or maybe even the Seattle head coach.

He's also Trotz without the ability to coach

Poile: "Not looking at firing Lavi. We have other moves we can make"

1 week later: Fires Lavi....

Bets on how long till the roster purge begins?

Lav finds work soon. I could see him either Dallas, San Jose or maybe even the Seattle head coach.

That Seattle feels somewhat reasonable. Laviolette usually will start hot and then the team cools down. Just like it happened at Vegas.

Hot start is good for marketing and sales and stability. I think whole NHL and Seattle will want it happen that way.

Wouldn't mind him at Detroit either.

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

So does this mean nobody's available and Poile is turning off his phone and fax machine until next year?

And why would there be a roster purge? Let's hold off until we play a game under a new coach, no?

 

[Siludin]

Any talk of Crawford?

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Seriously? Not trying to say that you're lying, but is there a documented example of this happening in the past? I could see why a player would do something like this.

It is rarely made public because it is rarely relevant.

Carey Price is one of the more famous cases where it was publicized because Montreal was in a similar position to Nashville shortly after extending Price. If you scroll down at Capfriendly and look at the previous contract that Price was on, you will see that in the notes section they mention that his modified NTC was turned into a NMC after he negotiated an extension.

I have no way of knowing how common this is, but I would guess that it must be common place. As long as the player isn't finishing up an RFA year where they cannot have trade protection, it only makes sense to have the trade protection upgraded to reflect the trade protection in the extension. Otherwise, a player puts themselves at risk of being flipped by their team shortly after extending if things go badly.

 

[FerrisRox]

Dermott, Johnsson & Bracco for Ekholm?

 

[Cancuks]

Poile probably realized no one wanted Granlund, Turris, Duchene or Johansen.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Poile should've fired himself. He has 7 series wins in his 20 years as GM of Nashville. The average team over this span has 10.
