Nashville Predators: Candidates for the Offseason Trade Block
By Chad Minton
The dust has settled on the Nashville Predators trading away Viktor Arvidsson, and now we have shifted our focus back to the upcoming expansion draft.
However, I’m not convinced that the Predators and GM David Poile are done offering trades. They have to be aggressive this offseason in setting themselves up for the long-term future.
The last thing any of us want to see is another wasted year of the same core giving us the same underwhelming results. We need a dramatic change and fresh look to this roster when the new season begins in October.
Trades are a quick way to obtain draft capital and free up roster space, which I put the Predators in dire need for both if they’re going to avoid plummeting into a cellar dweller. The Arvidsson trade, as hard as it was to see him go, was absolutely necessary and a smart decision.
Are there realistically any other players we can put onto Poile’s trade block? There are definitely a few more that I would like to see traded if the return obviously makes sense.
