Friday’s Dump & Chase: Scream Into The Void

Nashville Predators News n’ Notes

Recap: Nashville Predators 2, Red Wings 5: No Saving Grace | On the Forecheck
If you missed any of last night’s game, catch up on the recap and scream into the void with us in the comments section

The Nashville Predators should not trade Filip Forsberg—here’s why | On the Forecheck
And as the losses pile up, the “firesale” talk is going to ramp up. As Eamon point out, the Preds absolutely shouldn’t WANT to make Filip Forsberg available, but it’s all going to come down to his contract status. He’s an unrestricted free agent after next season, and if the Preds are rebuilding — or stuck in a rut like this year — you can’t exactly fault him for wanting to test the market and sign with a contender. If there’s any whisper Forsberg may be non-committal to a new deal, it may be in Poile’s best interest to see what prize he can get for his star forward.

Our prospects guru, Eric, thinks Farrance can be a star on the Predators’ blueline. But when can we expect that to happen?

Milwaukee Admirals Musings: Wolves Stay Undefeated | On the Forecheck
The Preds are spiraling into nothingness. But as Eric and Rachel point out, things are looking brighter for the Baby Preds.

Speaking of the Baby Preds, the Milwaukee Admirals posted a pretty interesting sit-down interview with coach Karl Taylor.

The Admirals, of course, aren’t playing in this year’s AHL season, and the Preds prospects are playing for the Chicago Wolves. That leaves Taylor in more of an advisory role this year.

Soundtrack for the Day

I randomly found this Coolio cover while browsing for background music at work, and now I want to run through every wall I see. If you need a good pump-up for the weekend, give it a listen. Just steer clear of your walls…you know…for the running through them-ness.
