The Colorado Avalanche moved Samuel Girard and a second-round pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for veteran defenceman Brett Kulak, and while it may have been a significant deal, it's the aftermath that everyone is talking about. The Avs moved on Girard, who is signed long term and they also freed up some cap space, and now currently sit with over $8 million in available resources heading into the trade deadline. There's growing speculation they aren't anywhere near finished, and one...

The Ryan O'Reilly sweepstakes are running rampant at the moment, as the Nashville Predators are listening to trade offers on their veteran, two-way center. O'Reilly has had a great season, scoring 56 points, leading Nashville, and with their playoff chances slim, don't be surprised to see the Predators move their best trade asset. The only condition here is that O'Reilly must approve the move, even without having any trade protection. Reportedly, there's a mutual agreement in place that the te...

The Nashville Predators are open for business ahead of the NHL's trade deadline, and one prime trade target for contending teams, is former Conn Smythe winner Ryan O'Reilly. 'The Factor' has turned back the clock this season and is having a stellar season on both sides of the puck. O'Reilly has scored 20 goals and 56 points in 57 games, to lead Nashville, and at just $4.5 million AAV, he's an easy target for several contending teams. While O'Reilly doesn't have trade protection on his contract...

The Nashville Predators continue to be one of the more interesting teams to follow this season, as there's been plenty going on, on and off the ice. From early season struggles and GM Barry Trotz calling out his team, to eventually seeing Trotz step down, one thing that's been constant this season in Nashville are the trade rumors. While the most interest lies in Ryan O'Reilly, who has the word of the organization that they won't surprise him with a trade, the one trade candidate that appears ...

The Nashville Predators are a better team than they were last season and are still in the race for the playoffs in the weak Western Conference, but they aren't contenders and likely won't go anywhere if they do squeak in. What they can do is alter their team, get value for certain players, and retool again as it doesn't seem like they want to rebuild with Juuse Saros, Filip Forsberg, and Roman Josi still on the team. The Predators are four points out of the playoffs, but have won just three of...

With general manager Barry Trotz announcing that he is retiring (though staying on help find a successor), the team will be doing its due diligence on not only the GM front, but also on the trade front. The Preds are just four points out of a Wild Card spot going into the break, so they're treading on some unusual ground, trying to navigate how and ...

The Islanders lost a frustrating game in regulation to the Nashville Predators, one they didn’t really deserve anything from, though the circumstances were still frustrating. They blew an early 2-0 lead after looking pretty good in the first 10 minutes of the game, then were completely discombobulated the rest of the way, relying on Ilya […]

Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, Ryan O'Reilly... these are the "big names" from the Nashville Predators that are getting most of the oxygen in the chatter about trade candidates if they decide to sell. But Elliotte Freidman tells us that we should be keeping our eye on another, under-the-radar Predators forward as we approach the deadline.
