Nashville victims are the talk of the hockey world. Many believe that changes are coming when the team returns to Sweden and the World Series after playing the Pittsburgh Penguins in a two-game sweep.
This would have been a week to do since the hunters had a week between games, but as general manager barry trotz addressed 102.5 ESPN Radio in Nashville, the coaching change does not stop because that would be an easy way out.
“I believe our coaches have done a really good job. Our history may not show it, but they coach their butts,” Trotz said when asked why the coach wasn’t fired. “And it’s a simple thing like I said in the past. It’s a simple thing to do. This is a shared task between the players, myself, and the professional staff.”
And Trotz owns that his signing of Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei did not bring the desired result of the Nashville animals they hoped for. As he said, there is a shared responsibility for paying the team for the team’s underperformance in the last two seasons. Because if Trotz heard the players disobeying the coach, he would make that change.

“So our plan hasn’t changed, and the coaches, managers, and players have been part of the plan in a mixed situation, and we were going to add some young guys,” continued Trottz. “So that’s my answer to that. It’s the easiest thing to do. If I didn’t think the coaches were trained, and I would make sure the players were trained, and then we made a change; that’s not all three teams.”
The addition of Marchessault and Stamkos was a good idea. Since it’s hard to score in the league, you put guys with 40 goals in the mix. However, the attackers need a center to get these people the puck. And like other NHL teams, they are looking for centers as well.
“I’ve been, especially at Center Ice. I think it’s something we’re all trying to fix, but we just couldn’t move.
It’s an exciting time in Nashville for the Raiders as they try to integrate young players with veterans. The problem is that the deer don’t have those players in the lineup right now. Trading those players is not easy. When David Puile was the GM, he brought in Filip Forsberg when he traded Martin Erat for shares.
But trotz is looking to do what the washington capitals did: give it back on the fly. He doesn’t want to rip all the way down and play young players who aren’t ready. These GMs saw what was happening in Detroit and Buffalo and didn’t want to endure a decade of rebuilding.
NHL rumors: Is time standing still in Nashville for Steven Stamkos?
However, Nashville may have been in that position that it already has instead of signing Marchessault, Stamkos, and Skjei, Yakovlav Ackanen, Yakovle Ackanen, Alexandre Carnin, Alexandre, Tolsei, Todne Fabbro, Alexandre, Todne Dinfov, Alexandre, Todne Fabbra, a choice that may or may not be NHL.
And that’s why, despite Nashville’s victims being trade rumors, Trotz, like the NHL GMS GMS, is looking for player-for-player-for-player deals, and they’re hard to come by. And if the in-flight retool is going to happen, it doesn’t sound like those players with fixed phrases will be sold anytime soon.
“None of the players have non-moveable clauses that have requested a trade,” Trotz added. “Everybody was there. In that sense, everybody was on board. Now there’s a lot of noise out there, and a lot of it is from the media. He’s not going anywhere.”
Now, forsberg and doman josi are not going anywhere; those two are the only ones that can’t be said right now. Are other players open for business? At some point, Jonathan Marchessault would want to go out. What about Steven Stamkos? Could a return to Tampa Bay be imminent?

Not to mention, with every team in need of a center, Ryan O’reilly is the man they want. Also, every team needs a center, so it’s a seller’s market. The prices are high because these teams don’t like the advice of continuing to compete since it’s an annual meeting.
But the Nashville Raiders need the right perspective. Matthew Wood, being an everyday player, is a start. Keeping Luke Evangelista around for now is a good thing, but that mindset should have started earlier. Brady Martin will be great one day. But you need time.
There have been a lot of missteps recently in the history of the Nashville Predators, and they could be headed for another one if they don’t change their direction.
