Nashville Predators: Candidates for the Offseason Trade Block

Mark Borowiecki, UFA in 2022-23, $2M Cap Hit

It wasn’t what you would call a smooth first season for Mark Borowiecki in Nashville. He made it into just 22 games for the Predators, but did still manage to show his brute physical style of play when he did play.

Borowiecki didn’t appear in a game after March 11, and logged just one single assist in all 22 games. He did manage to lay out 54 hits and 37 blocks while being somewhat of a presence on the penalty kill, which was overall a major eyesore for the team early on.

We’ll see if Borowiecki returns to the team for his final year, but I’m doing everything I can to unload him if I’m the general manager. I respect his game and the class act that he is, but it ends there for me.

Borowiecki won’t get many looks from teams aside from the ones who really are desperate for veteran presence on their blueline. If the Predators can find one of those suitors for a late-round draft pick, pull the trigger.
