Nashville Predators: Four forwards who could be traded this weekend

Finding Freddy a home

The Nashville Predators enjoy a wealth of NHL ability in their AHL affiliate. With players like Emil Petterson and Alexandre Carrier, the Predators hold players that could make NHL ice in the future. It may take an injury before someone is called upon, but there are players who can – and have – achieved ice time in Nashville.

One of the big asks when it comes to the trade market is the desire for players with NHL ice time. Frederick Gaudreau has more than most other prospects in Milwaukee. This year alone, Gaudreau has 20 games with the Predators. Though his scoring production was low, his character on ice may be attractive to other teams.

In the AHL, Gaudreau has 27 points in 34 games. He has achieved 40+ points in each of the last two seasons, but also played 60 or more games. When he gets consistent ice time, Gaudreau contributes. Let’s not forget the three goals he tallied in the playoffs last season. He has played on this stage before, and will again. It just may be on another team.
