    I would be surprised if they didn't. Likely going to be a dominant tourney from the North American teams as a result.

    If someone offered you Primeau (MTL) and a 1st round pick (around 10th overall) for Askarov, would you do it? I think I'd rather keep Askarov. Do we know when he might be in the system over here ?

    Non-cap keeper, with mandatory prospect spots, so either one would be a prospect for a while but looking to develop a goalie asap.

    Yes I would do that. Both Primeau and Askarov have some time before they will sniff the starter job. That 10th overall is pretty good. I honestly don't know where Askarov fits in the Preds org and would not be surprised to see him traded a year or two from now. BPA not need on that draft pick. Primeau also has a larger body of work at the pro level and we know he's still tracking to be a quality NHL goalie. Askarov only has 3 games in the KHL so far. I think I'd take this trade.

    Any chance they fire John Hynes?

    I was so surprised they hired him. Who hires a coach from a losing program...? Poile has been a savvy GM over the years but these last 2+ years, there have been a lot of mistakes. Trading Seth Jones. Sure they needed a C, but boy did that one not work out. Trading Fiala..

    and the Hynes hire. I couldn't get behind it. Didn't get it.

    I dont see ownership firing Poile, but that should be the next move IMO. The RyJo trade looked like a fair trade for both early on but as the years go by, it's definitely leaning towards CBJ coming out on top of that one.

    I think it leaned and already fell over. Seth Jones is such a superior player.

    Poile will likely resign. Heck maybe even after this year if things continue. Once a model of stability with Trotz, they've cycled pretty quickly through the coaches. I didn't like the Laviolette firing unless he wore himself out in the room, which I am sure he can do. It's too bad. They might have won a cup with Trotz had they kept him.

    I have a piece coming out later today discussing potential replacements for Hynes. I don't think that's the only thing that needs to be fixed, but it's definitely one.

    I just wish I understood the rationale for the hire... It's not like Hynes had a track record of success.

    They should have hired Lindy Ruff by the looks of it lol. I might have rolled the dice on Bylsma actually.

    Hynes and Poile had some connection working together in the past on the international stage. He was also university roommates with assistant GM Jeff Kealty.

    Shouldn't be at any level or in any job, but it always comes down to that to some degree.

    I am not sure if this is a correct statement.

    They have different roles. I know based on their play since their trade, I would rather have Seth Jones on D than Ryan J up front. I believe he makes a bigger difference. His scoring rate is better by far over those years, even if the underlying numbers this year haven't been as good yet for Jones.

    Hynes/Poile was my pick in the first coach fired thread, and frankly, I'm shocked Julien got fired first.

    Often true, although I have always felt it's fine for any very low-level position. I mean, entry-level is called that for a reason.

    I know they played a superior team and Ellis, Josi and Fabbro are all out...

    But just fire Mr. Ketchup already... and bring back Col Mustard!
