Yaremchuk: “But in Nashville, Frank, I mean is this the beginning of a big sale? They lost again last night, winning three of their last 10. There are (7-12-4) a year. Is this just the beginning, or maybe they are trying to stir up the team a bit?”
Seravalli: “No, I think this has a lot to do with Phil Tomasino. You know, being a guy who was obviously a square peg in a round hole, he needed a fresh start, and the Preds thought, hey, let's get something instead of giving him up and maybe losing him for nothing. So that was part of the equation. I don't look at it as connected to anything else.
Well, if Barry Trotz is going to come up here for the next, you know, number of days or weeks, that, in my opinion, is not for sale. I would be surprised if that is the case.
I think the Nashville Predators are in the market to try to grow this team and fix some of their ailment, especially down the middle, in the middle. It is difficult to do at this specific time, due to the lack of facilities available.
But I mean, just look at this depth chart right now. It's Jusso Parssinen and he played the central position. Fedor Svechikov is the phone and most thought of the prospect for the Preds. You are offered an interview. They are trying to find solutions to fix this group in the middle.
But Ryan O'Reilly is a great player, but on a real Stanley Cup contending team, Ryan O'Reilly, at this point in time, is 3C.
So they have to somehow find a way to balance the center with the wings. And Barry Trotz has been testing the market. We reported on that a few weeks ago, but it won't be for sale. Their pot is responsible for the way this team's title is built.”
