Preds got way too many C it looks like right now. Ribeiro,Jarnkrok,Fisher,Hodgson,Gaustad and now Johansen.


And Jackets better have some more big moves ready, cause they need to clear cap space. They'll have about 10M in cap space the way things are going heading into offseason,while having 6RFA(Seth Jones and Ryan Murray being most notable ones).

Jarnkrok will probably move to the wing now since he's played there some before.

Gaustad's still a great guy to have on the fourth line and will continue to take most of the team's defensive zone starts.

Fisher's on the verge of retirement and will probably play out the last two years of his contract on the third line. Watson will be Fisher's replacement once he's gone.

Ribeiro will move down to the second line and should help setup all the young wingers Nashville has.

Hodgson is the odd man out, and since he's on a one-year deal, he'll probably be gone at the trade deadline or at the end of the season.

Agreed.
Nashville has centre's but they're all 2nd or 3rd line guys. Nobody who's a true #1.
Hodgson's been playing some wing this season too from what I understand?

I just want to know who's going to centre the Jackets #1 line now? Boone Jenner? He's a good player, but he's more of a 2nd or 3rd line guy.
But Torts should be happy. Now he doesn't have a pesky offensive star to ruin his strategy of scoring goals by blocking shots.

What's the fastest time between two goals? Because last night Granlund scored on an empty net 2 seconds after Columbus scored.

Hodgson and Zack Kassian are going to star in their own NHL Network sitcom, "What the F*** Happened?!" The supporting cast will include Hodgson's dad as a sociopathic politican, Mike Gillis as a grumpy know-it-all neighbour, and Badger from Breaking Bad as Kassian's wacky coke dealer.

Great deal for Nashville.

And if I remember correctly Dubinsky was their #1C for past few games and Wennberg on 2nd line. This might change in future, since Jenner also played some C in past months. But man they are in a hunt for Matthews, unless Bob comes back and plays like before injury, so like Vezina goalie again.

That would be the best thing for that franchise. They really need a kid like him to spark interest, ticket sales and get them back into contention.

But I'm sure the Oilers will have something to say about that.
I know a guy that purchased a Matthews Oilers jersey. I wish I was joking.
