NEW: Ultimately, the aftertaste for the #Preds is familiar, even if little else about this season was. It'll take more for Barry Trotz and company to break free of the NHL's "mushy middle." Accordingly, "everything is on the table," he said. https://t.co/HGiT8eQpKh
Barry Trotz and Andrew Brunette covered a lot of ground yesterday. From the future of Saros, their offseason strategy to improve the team and some pointed comments for some younger players, @joerexrode discuss it all on @1025TheGame https://t.co/tV6NcbaBtB
Here's Andrew Brunette and Barry Trotz on Philip Tomasino. I'm guessing he might not be in Nashville next season! https://t.co/wm39v379Ly
After today's press conference, the way it sounds from Barry Trotz the #Preds are open for anything. He said that & wants to be hybrid in his approach. More on the way from what was said.
Barry Trotz's remarks on Tuesday told us a bit about where he's headed this summer, including his plan to improve the top 9 forward group and where he's leaning with Saros (trade vs sign). https://t.co/ij95g83Ppa
One of many takeaways from Trotz today: he used the word “acquire” a lot. Talked about a hybrid style of drafting and developing but being really aggressive in free agency and trade. Don’t be surprised if he tries to pull a big trade this offseason More tomorrow on @1025TheGame
Working on something from the #Preds end-of-season media interviews, but this quote from Andrew Brunette stood out to me:
Alex Carrier says he wants to stay with the #Preds, hopes his agent and Barry Trotz can “get it done”
End of season press availability with Preds players and Barry Trotz & Andrew Brunette takes place over the next couple hours. Stay tuned!
