Eh...probably? There's no real incentive to trade him for that at this stage though. Trotz will wait until to the deadline to see if his production bumps a little and there are more suitors and gauge his likelihood of extending.

More than people think if they are just looking at counting stats. He’s rugged, he kills penalties and he has bursts of actual skill at a next to nothing cap hit.

As a rental he will have a huge market of interested parties. He’s not a wow player or game changer but he would fit a ton of teams looking to upgrade their checking lines.

Definitely wait until the TDL for the Preds. See if his numbers bump up a little and sneak his value up to a late 1st. If not, no problem, a 2nd will do.

His history with contract negotiations in Nashville has been fairly rocky, but Poile is gone now, so maybe that will no longer be a factor, who knows. If Trotz can extend him, I’d rather keep him than take a 2nd rounder for him. Preds have loads of draft picks already.

I'm not sure "penalty killer for the Nashville Predators" is much of a selling point this season.

not sure if the Preds are averse to trading in the division, but I read a thread earlier saying that the Wild are looking for PK help.

He's a great fit on basically any bottom 6. I'd prefer we keep him. He hits, can drop the gloves if he has to, drives play, and can PK. I would want a solid return

He’s a good player, but it’s probably time people stop thinking he’s suddenly going to look like that player who lit up the AHL in that 2019-2020 season.

He’s a 20-25 point bottom six player. Value? Think of Klim Kostin. So basically an add-on in a trade or an equivalent pick. Maybe a 3rd at the deadline. Today? Not sure he gets that in this market. Teams are scared of even $1.7 in the bottom 6.

The Preds should want to resign him btw. He’s a good hockey player. Just not worth much these days. No insult but he’s not even changing a team, bringing any new element.

I think anybody trading for him wouldn't be looking to add him as an offensive weapon, he plays a tough game and is hard to play against. I think a contender would move a late 2nd for his "intangibles." His game was made for the playoffs imo.

Would I be shocked? No, but it really would have to be a team that’s lacking some “hard” players in their bottom six. Something he can be in a 7 game series. Most teams have those type of guys, and the teams that don’t, have no space whatsoever. So if Nashville eats half of his deal at the deadline, that’s where I could see him getting a 2nd.

Think we may find out on this one. He’s gonna want more than $1.7 and Nashville might play hardball on that. So good chance they do move him at the deadline.

If he had another year remaining Tampa would give two seconds or a first for him and throw him anywhere in the top six and profit.

I could see a team like Buffalo in on him, Boston if they hadn't already dealt their next two 2nds.

He's the sort of player Buffalo should look for in their bottom six but isn't the type of player their GM seems to put any value on.
