@brandon_felder Agreed. I have to say, I enjoy talking with you here. You are one of the few people who you can have a disagreement with and you talk it out and listen. You don't go straight to insults to make your point.

@danoj22 It appears that everyone vocal outside the organization doesn’t have him as the top choice. That for me is part of the optics problem. I don’t know if upset is the right word but I would be very disheartened about the future. Of course I’d be very happy to be wrong in that case

If the #Preds wait this long and then hire Fitzgerald it just legit paints them as an unserious franchise. The past has never ultimately won. They have to find a totally new approach to find success in the modern game.

@brandon_felder I can get that. To be clear, I am not hoping it is him either. I just wouldn't be too upset if it were. My personal choice would be Peterson or White with maybe someone with past experience to bounce things off of. Not sure we will get that though.

@danoj22 Fair enough that his approach could be different than Poile and Trotz. I think the bigger picture for me and others is that we want to see something new. Something that doesn’t feel or appear like the same old song. Of the finalists he’s the one that’s mostly that feeling.

@brandon_felder If the problem is his track record, that arguement I get. I just don't agree that he is just going to do it the same way because of his time here. He did some good things in NJ and did it very differently than it was done here. I will agree it didn't all work for him.

@danoj22 He served under Ray Shero in Pittsburgh. Shero served under Poile from 98-06. It’s very much a good ole boys network in the NHL. Teams often go with people that were friends of former employees etc. Nashville wouldn’t be the only ones guilty of this.

@AdamSchlicht @NHLRumourReport You know Stamkos has a no trade right? If he doesn't want to be traded there is nothing they can do. It's all up to him.

@NHLRumourReport Not trading stamkos at his current value and age would go down as the worst decision this franchise ever makes. How can this org watch these playoffs and not realize how far away we are from competing

Elliotte Friedman: Re Steven Stamkos future: I think if the Predators went to him and said what would you be willing to do, he would say look, if you are not gonna compete for the playoffs...I think he would be willing to talk to them - DMase Vingan & Daunic (4/17)

@1025TheGame @LymanJake @c_nute15 You could also argue that Bruno is technically not from the family considering he played for us in year 1 and that was it.

Are we getting close to a decision on the #Preds general manager search? @LymanJake @c_nute15 youtube.com/live/CPjWFvSmr…

@1025TheGame @LymanJake @c_nute15 This idea that the Preds only hire from "the family" is just wrong. They have only had 4 big hires. Two were from the tree ( Trotz, Bruno) but the other two were from outside (Hines, Lavy). This take us just not correct.

@demrowa @PredsNHL @celerocommerce @Chris_Jast He has the potential to be a good solid 3rd pair NHL defensemen. Would not be surprised to see him get some NHL time sooner than later because of Wilsby's injury. Not a bad get for a 30 yr old rental that plays a role you can replace.

@PredsNHL @celerocommerce As a preds fan how should I feel about this??? I’m too new to the game to know. @Chris_Jast

🔁TRADE: We've acquired defenseman Christoffer Sedoff and a third-round draft pick in 2028 from Vegas in exchange for forward Cole Smith. Full details » preds.club/408Bpxy

@AlexDaugherty1 Agreed!

I don't think I can listen to another second of this broadcaster. This is infuriating.

@1025TheGame Adam, trading O'Reilly is not a rebuild. A rebuild is trading Forsberg, Josi, Saros as well as the recent UFA's. I don't think you want that.

@NashSevereWx Should we risk attending the Preds game today at 12:30pm? We would have to drive back to the Boro afterwards.

Current thinking on accumulation. Right now several short term models predict about 2-3" of snow. Then between .25-.75" of ice. This will make things, um... difficult for us. Difficult for tree limbs and power lines, and very difficult for roads. Then, dangerously cold overnight temps. Not great news, but in line with what we have forecasted. These amounts are not set in stone and may change is this storm evolves over the next 8 hours.

@bruce_straughan So your early tweet now looks bad and you look stupid for posting it, so now Oklahoma doesn't belong either is your justification? Sad

This is why former Alabama players like Mark Ingram and others were saying Alabama shouldn’t have been in the playoffs! They knew it, we knew it, everybody knew it except for the clowns in that room selecting the teams!

@VicLombardi 😭

Emergency press conference.

@AlexDaugherty1 I think he was thinking Verhaege was going to one touch deflect it and Verhaege played it well by keeping his stick to that side until he knew Saros was going to play it that way. Solid move.

Saros really overplayed that pass to the middle. Not sure where he thought the puck was going, but he made the put back by Verhaeghe an easy one.

@stfuesh Godzilla

@AlexDaugherty1 Alex, I wish I could say I understand this team. This happens all the time, they control long stretches of these games and don't score. I could get it if there were a bunch of kids who hadn't scored goals. Not sure coaching could fix this. The chances are there.

Filip Forsberg with an incredible pass inside to Ryan O'Reilly and his quick wrist shot is stopped by Blackwood. Then Evangelista rings one off the pipe. Nashville is all over Colorado, but just can't actually score. More of the same.

@MikeMusicSeven @brooksbratten Agreed. Also, if the net wasn't dislodged the puck would have gone behind the net and never would have had a second chance it. Should have been a penalty, but a goal is 100% the wrong call.

@brooksbratten Except the shot didn’t, and wasn’t, going in.

An explanation from the NHL on why Minnesota’s OT goal counted against the #Preds —>

@AlexDaugherty1 This isn't hard. Martin can only play 9 games before they have to keep him or send him to juniors. This way he stays here longer and gets to practice and learn. The longer you take to play the 9 games the more time you have to evaluate him.

No one is that smart. It cannot be explained.

@77SVECH @emma_lingan I stand corrected

Somehow this is an even worse look than putting Dante Fabbro on waivers, and that's saying something. TLDR: Unless your name is Josi, Forsberg or Saros, if you weren't signed/drafted by Barry Trotz, you are basically a dead man walking in Nashville.
