Who do you believe will be the first Pred traded this year? Are you expecting a few tweaks or a major overhaul if things go south?

Brad Richardson and Nick Cousins will likely be first to go. When all is said and done, I'd expect Granlund, Haula, and Ekholm to also be dealt.

I believe the overhaul needs to start at the top. Bringing in a guy who failed at NJ was not the answer. It is incumbent upon the head coach to have the team ready to play. I don't see that happening. The Lambert needs to go back to coaching kids at Spokane. He was brought in to cure the powerplay woes. How has that worked out?

Ugh, can we stop with the predictable, this team looks like it got back on track mantra, every time they win or have a decent showing? Or the equally 'predictable' which team will show up tonight? The answer is, the same team that shows up every night. Even bad teams will win a few and put up decent efforts now and then.

The Preds have shown what they are. They've had one win against a quality team in the division all year, and that was basically handed to them, and they've barely kept their heads above water against the bottom of the division. The team is what is until significant changes are made. Firing the coach would be a nice start... Not gona fix the roster problems though, or the guy who built it. If Poile does trade Ekholm I'm dreading seeing the pittance he'll likely settle for.

Hines will be canned once it’s official Preds are out of the playoffs.
Somewhere there is a cancer on this team that is affecting this “not giving a poop” attitude of play.

This team is going to have to be rebuilt from the net out.

Preferably,with a new GM.

How much longer will we have to deal with HINES? THE GUY SUCKS. The only other option I see for coach that I would be happy with is john tortorella, the man has beach ball sized balls and I feel will deal with the locker room laziness that seems to be in every preds team.

I wouldn’t want to see a rehashed coach.
Rather see some up and coming coach that is not yet at the NHL level.

This isn’t even a fun team to watch. Can’t remember when I watched an entire game this season.

High draft pick incoming.
Poile will waist said pick because he doesn’t do well with picking goal scorers.

Hope the Preds can survive the next five or more years of rebuilding.
It’s going to turn from...no tickets available to...who wants a ticket

Drafting comes down to the group of Scouts Poile has put together. All you hear is how great they are. Well just look at their track record "Not too good". Team is not not fun to watch anymore, they don't look like they are ready to play, that comes down to coaching. IMHO Hynes and Lambert need to hit the road, Jack and don't come back when this road trip is finished if they don't win 2 out of every three games.

So last night was no different from most of the games this season. They come out to start the game as if they were eating a 5 course meal in the locker room. They fall behind yet again and then try to mount a comeback in the 3rd period. 20 minutes of playing hard will not win many games. I'm ready for a change.

I guess the one good thing that comes out of not having fans in the arena is that we can't hear them booing the power play as they fail to get a shot on goal or gives up break aways while you have the man advantage.

To make matters worse, we're running out of games with Columbus.
