With less than a month to go until the long-awaited NHL trade deadline, rumors are beginning to heat up, and one of the biggest ones that have come out is that the Nashville Predators have begun shopping forward Filip Forsberg.
This certainly comes as a surprise, as the Predators are currently battling it out for playoff positioning and it seemed as though both parties wanted to get a deal done, but now that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Forsberg, 27, is on the final year of his six-year deal which pays him $6 million annually, and it’s expected that he’ll see a decent raise in both the salary and term on his next deal this summer.
