Preds Practice Ponderings: February 3
Practice was missing one person in particular. Here was Peter Laviolette on Mike Ribeiro being waived:
"Mike has been such an important part of the team and a good part of the team," Laviolette said. "I think the lineup decisions that we've been making as of late have found Mike on the outside and he didn't want to finish that way being in the stands. He had a request for a trade and we tried to help him with that and so he's on waivers today to see if somebody is going to pick him up.
