It\u2019s tough to see. What is the plan there in Nashville, are there guys and some veterans that start getting moved out?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">David Pagnotta: They\u2019re obviously trying to figure it out to see what the direction of this team is. It\u2019s still early. They don\u2019t want to press any panic buttons, but yeah teams are starting to circle a little bit and are curious to see can they get into the Ryan O\u2019Reilly sweepstakes? Which I anticipate to happen later on in the season. He\u2019s got another year on his contract; he doesn\u2019t have any no-trade protection, but unofficially he does. They\u2019re going to bring him an opportunity that is favorable for him. At the same time, they\u2019ve got to maximize their return. They have some other pieces. They brought in Mrchessault; they brought in Stamkos; they brought in Brady Skjei on that back end. I thought they\u2019d be able to make some noise and be part of the consistent playoff discussion. Obviously it just hasn\u2019t worked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">You can watch the full segment and the rest of the episode below\u2026<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Things just keep going from bad to worse for the Nashville Predators, who are in the midst of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269959,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-269958","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
