Losing Ryan Ellis might force Nashville Predators’ hand at trade deadline | A to Z Sports Nashville
*Sigh*... Things are bad again.
“GM David Poile promised a youth movement, but it never came. As the Predators struggle in their current iteration, several highly paid veterans — Mattias Ekholm, Ryan Ellis, Filip Forsberg and Ryan Johansen are the most attractive — could be traded as soon as this season.”
I will eat my hat if Ryan Ellis, Filip Forsberg, or Ryan Johansen are traded. Forsberg and Ellis are too important, and Johansen’s contract is basically unmovable.
