just a random question...
Since Columbus has the ASG, what if they trade all their superstars? What would one of the teams be named? Team Prospal? That will definitely work. A sort of stupid thing to talk about, but I was just curious anyways. I don’t even think Columbus will get any of it’s own players in.

Future is now story
Preds article on Yahoo about winning now, very interesting comments from Suter.
At this point he consistently sounds like the assistant GM! Make no mistake about it, unless DP aquires some kind of forward help he’s out of here and Weber too.
Fully respect their desire to win now but I’ve never seen a situation like this.
If Suter would sign would that not make Poile’s job a bit easier? Unbelievable that it’s come to this and if they lose in the first round then what? Hope things work out other wise it could get really ugly here in Smashville.
I'm taking a positive view
It was a Yahoo article so I doubt that they really talked to Suter. They are probably re-using a “quote” from the last few weeks. Trust me, I’m right there with you that Suter could have kept his mouth shut and not stirred the pot. But, everyone outside of Nashville is using that to continue to stir the pot.
Hal Gill is Cody Franson just 12 years more experience and 12 years older. Shame we had to waste a second and Boom-boom for what we gave away last year.
They dont play similarly at all. Gill is closer to a better disciplined Obrien.

I think either is likely… I kinda want Ellis to stay here, but Cube IS more experienced, so…. I dunno. Who knows.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
Hopefully, both get to give it a try with Gill and we see what works. Ellis has way more offensive upside but Cube knows where he needs to be. If Gill’s wingspan can cover for Ellis’ occasional pinch at the wrong time, it could be a match made in heaven.
Exactly. The one thing I worry about with an Ellis-Gill pairing is that Gill might not be able to get back fast enough to cover for Ellis. We shall see!
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
i think lines will be conditional
Cube and Ellis will probably take their turns in the press box depending on which opponent the team is playing that night. At this point i don’t think there is anything left for Ellis in Milwaukee, he just needs to observe the nhl game. But he could be sent down if the roster spot becomes necessary.
In games where Ellis plays, it might not matter how fast Gill is. Trotz has not been shy about protecting Ellis in even-strength play, so Gill will only have to chase down 3rd and 4th liners.

Even if you are correct
That 12 years is a big boost of experience, plus the fact he won a Cup helps too. Franson has neither. He hasn’t exactly been tearing it up in Toronto either.

Alexander Radulov
He just left his team in Russia. No one knows what he is going to do next. The KHL commish said he doesn’t think that he is going to leave the league and that he is going to a different team in the league. If I was Polie I would send someone right now to get him and bring him to Nashville. This will solve our need for a scorer without giving up anything.
and where did you hear this?

-nashvillepredators-
On the NHL page, under rumors there is a “pay for rumors” that mentions Nashville, Radulov, and the KHL. Who knows what it says? It’s probably the same thing as the KHL and Bettman hoohaa that’s been out there all day.
Yeah, I’m vaguely interested, but not enough to pay to read it. Psht. Paying to read a rumor. Yeah right. It’s probably all horsepoop anyway.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
UPDATE: If the president of the Kontinental Hockey League is correct, Alexander Radulov won’t be returning to his NHL squad — the Nashville Predators — anytime soon.
As relayed by the Hockey News, Alexander Medvedev suggests Radulov will play the 2012-13 season with his current team, Salavat Yulaev.
“He’s under contract for another year,” Medvedev told The Canadian Press Friday. “I’m not aware about the clause that he could leave next year.”
Those with a supremely wry sense of humor might appreciate the relevant history in play. Like how Radulov fled the NHL in 2008 to join the Russian league in it’s infancy — despite having a year left on his contract with the Predators.
We’re sure Preds GM David Poile is doubled right over, riddled with a serious case of the giggles.
- Victoria Matiash
As a number of playoff contenders vie for the services of potential rent-a-players at the trade deadline, the Nashville Predators may have an even better option. The club has been without one of their top up-and-coming players for nearly four years. What if they somehow managed to get him back right now?
It’s still a fairly long shot at the moment, but David Boclair of the Nashville City Paper examined just how feasible it might be to see Alexander Radulov back in a Preds’ uniform as soon as this season. He left for the KHL after the 2007-08 campaign, but he can essentially come back at any time, still has ties to Nashville and has a good connection with current team leaders Ryan Suter and Shea Weber.
On top of all that, Radulov has spent the last few years carving his way through the KHL. Preds’ GM David Poile refers to him as the “best player not playing in the NHL”. Nashville — understandably — wasn’t very happy when he took off for Russia in the middle of his NHL contract. But, if he somehow could be added to this current roster, he could potentially take an already strong team to a new level.

It’s fine. I think everyone was a little amped up last night. The issue is that over the past several months, we’ve had a fair number of people come in and yell for Suter/Poile/Predobear/Trotz/Vokoun/Crispy/etc.‘s head (often for little/no reason), and I think a lot of us have just gotten tired of reading anything remotely similar to that. (I don’t want to speak for everyone, so feel free to correct me if you feel otherwise.) I don’t think it was necessarily what you said (because Suter has indeed not been playing 100% recently); I think it was more about both the timing (posted after a crappy loss with emotions running high) and our history with those kind of posts. At least in my experience, people who have written similar posts (i.e., anti-majority) tend to show up once or twice, complain to high heaven about one or two guys and annoy everyone on here, and then never really come back. So with those expectations (no offense meant, honestly), it’s nice to see that you’ve come back today!! Hopefully Suter will pick up his play tomorrow — getting Gill’s gotta be a great psychological boost — and will leave his little iffy streak behind him. I don’t think he’s been playing badly enough to be traded by ANY means (plus, we really don’t have anyone who can fill his shoes… Klein, maybe, but even he can’t do what Suter does), but he hasn’t been what we have come to expect, no. Let’s see what this trade does for him. As an Alt. Captain, my guess is that he’ll feel the pressure to perform well, show Hal what he can expect to play with, and welcome him to the team. That’s a lot of good psychological pressure, so who knows what will happen. Let’s hope for the best!

Well said. I was one of those overly emotional folks last night. Nothing drastic needed, it was just a tough loss.
Heh. i let my extended family see me throw a plastic hockey stick from my cake halfway across the room and yell “who was that? was it Datsyuk? i bet that was Datsyuk.” Not my proudest moment ever.

Nah, no one and done just new. Probably not the best time for a rant but damn I was (and still am) disappointed with Sutes. That gems hurt so much. I most definitely have issues separating myself from game and life and pain is the unfortunate norm (Braves/Preds/UGA/Falcons fan).

In REAL news
Pavel Kubina to the Flyers for either a 2nd or conditional 2nd and either a 2012 4th or 2013 5th. It’s kind of confusing right now.
Either way Philly has to move someone to take anyone else on—they have 51 contracts otherwise.

I think we made the right move. The Flyers may have gotten Kubina cheaper but I think we got the better D man. Just because GIll is a UFA doesn’t mean he has to be rental.
I know that Kubina would have been a bad fit for the Preds. We’ll see about Gill. The big thing about this news for me that the Flyers have to move someone to take Kubina on. If they don’t demote someone to the AHL, there’ll be something else going on.

I called this one a while back.
I said Tampa would be sellers, they are the perfect trading partners. Opposite conference. They need goal tending and defense, we need a play maker. Stamkos is obviously off the table, Vinny’s contract is too long for too much. That leaves St. Louis. He still has a couple of years left on his contract at a reasonable price. Lindback or Blum and our first rounder. Of course Im sure he has a NTC.

St Louis will not be traded unless he asks to be. By that I mean that he approaches Yzerman and asks to be traded. They are NOT going to go to him like they did to Kubina and may or may not have done with Malone.

I hear what you're saying
I’m not trying to push your buttons, I promise. I live in Tampa Bay and went to several of their playoff games last year. Stamkos is a beast, and Vinny was better than I expected, given all of the trade rumors and people saying he’s over paid, but it’s St. Louis I really enjoy watching. He’s all over the ice and is so elusive. It’s just wishful thinking, I can’t imagine why he would wave his NTC even if he was asked. It just seems like both teams have pieces that the other team needs.

I don’t mean to overreact, but I think Stammergeddon scarred me.
And Vinny is overpaid. Anyone on that contract would be overpaid. I love the guy, but that is a whole lot of money, and, quite frankly, I can’t think of anyone who could possibly deserve it. But the man does his job and does it well.
I will say that there are Lightning fans who really want Blum. And although I haven’t heard anyone bring him up, I bet they’d take Lindback in a heartbeat.

I was planning on heading down to the office and having a talk with Guy today to, you know, facilitate things. You wanna go with me? I mean, look at it this way, if there was one chance in a bazillion that St. Louis was gonna leave, where would it make you happiest for him to land?

I just can’t. It’d be like ripping the heart out of one child in favor of another. I just can’t.
To me Marty is the Lightning. I don’t even have a way to compare it to the Preds because they’ve never had a player who means to them what Marty means to the Lightning. He is the heart and soul of that team. They need him. He should retire a Bolt.
If he left, yeah, I’d rather it be to Nashville than somewhere else, but I don’t think I’d describe my emotions as “happy.”

Still worth a look.
It’s until 2018, but it’s only 2.5 next year, and 3.75 the year after that. Granted, if he becomes a career third liner, we’d be stuck with him, but what if he doesn’t. He’s that left winger we need, he’s a 20+ goal scorer… He might be worth the risk. We need someone, and his contact isn’t as horrible as Jeff Carter’s.

In 2015, which one of the following will prove to be a better investment?
(a) Ilya Bryzgalov's contract (b) Ryan Howard's extension (c) Mike Vick's extension (d) Greek bonds from 2009 (e) Papelbon's bloat deal

St. Louis really needs to start losing games.
This ain’t cool.

-nashvillepredators-
It doesn’t help that they win and look like the good guys today with the way the Wild played. Two nasty hits by the Wild that will likely get suspensions. Unless Backes has one hard head, he is the next one out with a concussion.
I missed the game, just saw the score. The Wild must be getting frustrated, though… they’re usually pretty in control. Hope Backes is ok, even though I really don’t like the guy.

If you've ever had a chance to see him interviewed, you'll notice he's not a very.... well-spoken... guy.
That’s why they interview him SO rarely, haha. Also, he says “UUUUUH” a lot, so I figured this is what he sounds like when he agrees with something.

He’s trying to avoid the dreaded “UH”. People count those. He wants to be the silent savant…OK that was a stretch.
Haha! I always count how many "UUH"s Marty throws out there… he’s the Uh King! I think I once counted 40 in a 30 second interview. It was extremely impressive.

Oh my, you were the people I was referring to with counting the "UH"’s. I listened that night and you were dead on!

The Ducks won’t be getting rid of anyone that the Preds would need. I say they go get Semin.
If Radulov comes back, then none of this stuff will matter . . .
It’s always a crap shoot, to be sure, but the guy can score and his stock is as low as it’ll be. If Radulov comes back this season, and I bet he does, that could do the trick!
