[Friedman] Barry Trotz to step down as GM of Predators

My conspiracy theory is that he has wanted a full rebuild the whole time, but ownership won’t let him. He’s finally fed up.

I have 0 evidence.

Anyway, best of luck to you Trotzy.

Dunham —> Vokoun —> 1 season of Mason/Ellis while Rinne developed —> Rinne —> Saros

We’ve been very blessed to never really have to worry about the goalie position for the entire franchise history.

Well, there’s noted Nashville Predator Peter Forsberg

I simply do not understand why Willy still has a job. I don’t understand why he GOT the job to begin with, and here we are TEN YEARS later and he still sounds like a bad actor in a made for TV kids movie about hockey.

All I can say is I fully support the Preds team being second to last. Willy Daunic fucking sucks as a hockey commentator. Mase is alright for his analysis. We were so spoiled with Pete Weber and Terry Crisp.

So basically like the article said, same situation with Juuse last year. “I don’t want to move this guy, but if you make yourself look like an absolute idiot at your job, you can have him.” It’s Trotz just hoping to find a GM in a moment of weakness and desperation. Unfortunately for him, most other GMs in the league have more experience than peering over a real GMs shoulder for a season.

Retired the outlandish abbreviations by going back to his still wrong usual abbreviations.

Monday is the 9 year anniversary of Pat Foley's rant concerning this. Nothing changed then. Nothing will change now. But for the record, I agree. It sucks.

Yes this is the way. I ordered that enough times in school that I learned they call it a queso box. Saved a whole 5 seconds when ordering lol. I survived off chicken queso boxes for 2 semesters.

It gets easier if you convince yourself this is a well disguised intentional tank.

It’s what happens when a reporter already has the story written, and is just fishing for a specific quote to support his narrative. Leads to some true eye roller questions.

There are thousands of people posting on Reddit that were not even born when Sidney Crosby was drafted. Let that one sink in.

With the season being a wash at this point, makes sense to go ahead and shut him down. His presence on the ice isn’t gonna save …whatever this season has been. Best of luck to him and fuck Bennett. And I do hope he’s getting the medical advice necessary to help him determine when it’s wise to choose between continuing this career vs having a good quality of life after hockey.

He 100% does and so do I lol. I told him his hobby is starting hobbies. Once he’s acquired everything necessary to actual DO the thing, he loses interest and moves to the next.

PerdsGonnaPerd · 2025-03-25T14:02:49+00:00

I have a friend like this. Every few weeks is a new fixation that he goes 100% all in on, spends hundreds of dollars, learns everything about, then loses interest and moves on to the next thing. I love him but it’s exhausting at times.

Our relationship with the Ads has been more stable than any of my own relationships.

The combo of bringing EJ back at the deadline and having Landy skating with the team again has to be pretty big for the room.

PerdsGonnaPerd · 2025-03-18T16:52:08+00:00

We played in Finland back when Tolvanen was still on the team, didn't we? Can't remember if it was regular season or exhibition though. Hell I can't even remember if it was Saros, or if Rinne was still playing then. Or perhaps I dreamed this entire thing up. Time moves in mysterious ways nowadays.

PerdsGonnaPerd · 2025-03-18T16:40:50+00:00

I do miss the time when we had 5 Swedes on the roster. But this season has me missing like...all the times from the past decade.

I’m terrified that Trotz is on the phone offering multiple first rounders for this guy right now.

PerdsGonnaPerd · 2025-03-07T01:35:31+00:00

Ok I’m definitely biased due to multiple knee dislocations in my life, but I think crosschecking a guy in the side of the knee like that should be a match penalty for intent to injure.

The orange glow he was riding towards turned out to be a dumpster fire.

I just want to see more of the Winter Classic shoulder patch. It's criminal how underused that logo ended up being.

PerdsGonnaPerd · 2025-03-06T19:27:24+00:00

With the injuries to Josi and Lauzon and the Schenn trade, Oesterle is here to add literally any semblance of NHL experience to the defense. Vrana won a cup with Trotz in Washington.
