NHL Power Rankings 1-32 poll, plus way-too-early trade deadline appraisals | ESPN
The boys slide down one spot to number 14 after splitting their last 4 contests. I guess losing two games in a row 6-1 will do that to you. Either way, here’s the blurb about the Preds’ moves (or lack thereof) at the trade deadline:
“Filip Forsberg had a five-point outing on the evening of the trade deadline. That’s why GM David Poile kept him around. Forsberg is a game-changing, difference-making player and Nashville hasn’t conceded on any postseason aspirations. Poile did little else but stick with his current group, and despite recent back-to-back, 6-1 losses, having Forsberg still provides confidence in Nashville’s chances.”
