Predators got killed in the faceoff circle last night. They need to add depth to their center because their top two centermen were less than 40%. I know Johansson is there number one and he's out with injury but they need a guy like Bozak who finished 6th last year in faceoffs. After the expansion draft

Toronto trades Tyler Bozak

Predators trade Dante Fabbro

I don't think Toronto would miss a beat and there won't be many teams that could match Toronto's top three lines.

Hymen - Matthews - Kapanen
JVR - Nylander - Marner
Komarov - Kadri - Brown
Rychel - Boyle/Moore - Shoshnikov

Did you not know that Ryan Johansen got injured? They don't Bozak.

Babcock has gone on record that Nylander is playing wing in the foreseeable future. Nice idea though. We all know JVR and/ or Bozak are going to get traded.

I did say that Johansen was out with an injured.

All that I was trying to say is that I see the Predators are having the same problem the Edmonton had. McDavid and Draisaitl could not win a face off to save their life and then they spent the rest of their shifts (45 seconds) skating around, trying to get the puck back. (A wasted shift)

He pretty clearly addressed that Johansen's Goatson. As for the trade Bozak would make sense as Fisher is 36 and a pending UFA. Preds have bunch of RFA's to resign. Not sure about the value given the Hanzal trade as a contrast. Might be some other pieces to the packages.
