[Pred303]

let me repost this then;

for the little it's worth, ecklund says the preds are 'interested' in and have inquired about the following guys;

vermette, stewart, jagr, santorelli, petry, lecavilier, kadri, cole.
neuverth, fasth, Fleishmann, enroth, niemi.

so basically almost every forward or goalie. in my opinion it's more of him guessing who he thinks we need and not who we need or want;

 

[Dave is a killer]

The only player I like on that list is Kadri, the rest are over the hillers or not as good as everyone thinks they are

 

[Flgatorguy87]

My order of preference based on the player combined with what I would assume it would cost us.

vermette
jagr
Santorelli
Kadri
Fleischmann
stewart

What's your order?

 

[jstreet]

I doooooo noooot want Lecavilier here.

yeah this time of year he's just trying to drive website traffic.

Seems like Ek used to have pretty good sources regarding Nashville but I think this is just blather..

I'd like Jagr and Vermette depending on the price of both. Vermette is really good on faceoffs, which is something we could badly use with Ribeiro at 42.4%, Jarnkrok at 44.7% and Fisher just above 50%. Picking up Vermette and moving Jarnkrok to the wing would help quite a bit this year imo.

I agree. I think getting Jarnkrok back to the wing should be a goal for the playoffs. I think C is the future for him but he's still growing into it.

 

[NSHPreds1835]

Is Kessel even a possibility? This guy on Youtube says he would not mind seeing Kessel going to a team like Nashville or somewhere else. What would the Preds have to give up in order to get someone like a Phil Kessel?

 

[Enoch]

I honestly think it would be:

Smith

One of Watson/Beck/Borque/Salomaki

One of Fiala/Diaby/Kamenev

And a first round pick

 

[Armourboy]

And my guess is stalberg for the salary kicker

 

[NSH615]

Oh and for those saying that Cullen and Volchenkov were our only 2 who had been to the finals, Stalberg has a cup as well. I wouldn't mind seeing him take Cullen's place at this point. Cullen has lost himself, age has taken over badly.

 

[Rankelson]

There's been speculation in Finnish press regarding movement of Lauri Korpikoski in the deadline with Blackhawks and Preds being possible candidates. Korpikoski is a good energy player doing solid SH minutes in ARI. Would be a huge upgrade to Jokinen IMHO.

He'd be an upgrade over Jokinen no doubt but with two more years on his contract after this one, is it worth it to go after him?

With all the guys on the Admirals that are near NHL ready I'd prefer to get rentals and let guys like Watson, Salomaki, Leipsic, Aberg and Arvidsson fill these roles. Even give Stalberg another shot.

Jokinen and Nystrom have to go before Cullen IMO

 

[Persona5]

Jokinen and Nystrom have to go before Cullen IMO

Nystrom has been solid for us and shouldn't be moved. Right now DP needs to pull out one of his great trades for a d-man and very soon. Problem is he now has little leverage with our injuries...

I would not be against this with the exception on the 2.5 contract. I think the upside he is a winger. We have far too many centers playing on the wing and honestly I think this has been a big part of Cullen and even Jokinen's issues. The older players are just not as effective IMO when you take them out of the position they have played for years. Can they adjust sure but with there age its never going to be the best option.

 

[lstcyr]

I think it would take less than that but I would do Smith/Bourque/Diaby/1st.

I honestly think it would be:

Smith

One of Watson/Beck/Borque/Salomaki

One of Fiala/Diaby/Kamenev

And a first round pick

 

[nomorekids]

The Toronto rumors seem to have cooled considerably..maybe because of our injuries, maybe because the reported price on Franson is said to be pretty high.

I don't think it was ever about Kessel, honestly.

 

[Privy]

I think Nystrom plays his role well enough to stay. Cullen needs to replace Jokinen on the 2nd line until Wilson is back. Cullen and Fisher always seem to have good chemistry, let's see if it's still there.

 

[glenngineer]

I'll put this simply, Nystrom sucks.

 

[Teekko]

I like how are third line is playing at the moment, I would rather are lines look like this...

Forsberg - Ribeiro - Smith
Beck - Fisher - Neal
Cullen - Jarnkrok - Bourque
Nystrom - Gaustad - Jokinen

Good lord. Looking at those 4 lines wtf? How are we #1? That lineup simply put will not get us far in the playoffs. Jokinen, Cullen, Nystrom and Bourque all need to go and Beck on the 2nd line no thanks.

We need some guys at the deadline. Obviously I want Kessel more than anything...but I think we could definitely use Vermette, Jagr, Winnik or Santorelli or hell I'll even take Chris Neil but we need about 2-4 guys at the deadline with the fourth being a defenseman.

 

[Privy]

I'll put this simply, Nystrom sucks.

We have bigger holes to worry about. 4th line left wing should be pretty low on the list right now.

 

[PeterLax]

Are you not accounting for Wilson..?
