Dutch was the last admitted Nashville fan on the forums that I can remember. He no longer resides here.

I'm pumped for Smashville. They're who I'm cheering for to come out of the West. The team is so much fun and the fans are awesome.
plus it would be great to see Subban win the cup a year after leaving Montreal
Ellis expected to be out 4-6 months! Ouch!

As I said in the other thread, this explains the trade for Emelin.
The biggest part of the fallout now is whether Emelin plays with Josi, or is it going to be Irwin?
- my money is on Emelin just based on the contract.
However, if you go based on handedness, the contest is between Weber and Grannberg. Either way, some interesting camp battles to watch.

The Predators have a great cap situation. They have everyone important signed for another season after this one. Their only pending free agents are Saros (RFA), Emelin (UFA), Hartnell (UFA) and Salomaki (RFA).
They currently have $7.5M in cap space for next season, and the cap is expected to go up by $4M to $7M. Saros could get a similar three-year contract as Gibson ($2.3) and Vasilevskiy ($3.5M) got. Maybe $2.5M? I think the other three could be easily replaced with a combined $3M. So that would leave them with $6M to $9M in cap space. If they want to add a winger with term like Pacioretty ($4.5M) or Hoffman ($5.19M) - or Nyquist ($4.75M) which is where my thought process started - they could do that.
Do they have the trade chips to acquire a player like that? They're not going to trade Tolvanen but they have all their 1st round picks, and they might be willing to trade someone like Dante Fabbro who is unlikely to find much room behind Subban and Ellis.
The Predators could be a player in the trade market, and they might not look at just rentals either because they've positioned themselves really well with the cap situation.
The real test for their cap management will be 2019-2020 when Rinne is UFA and possibly retired, Ryan Ellis is UFA as well, and Kevin Fiala will be RFA. That might mean they wouldn't want Hoffman who is signed until 2020 but Pacioretty and Nyquist are only signed until 2019, so they could easily add one of them if they want.
With Rinne/Saros in goal, Josi/Subban/Ellis/Ekholm on 'D', Johansen/Turris/Bonino/Fisher at 'C', the winger position might be their only weakness even though they have a couple of good wingers as well. Thoughts?
The Preds definitely could use help on the wings and I xan easily see them adding one good one at or before the deadline. And as we both know there are plenty available too.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Is Nashville the only team in the NHL that runs 2 D-men on the 3 v 3 Overtime?
Man I am jealous of the Defense on this team... Hoping the flyers cupboards full of D turns into something similar!
How doesn't this team win the West?? I'm thinking they win it all this year!!
