Nashville is in a bit of peculiar situation this season. We remain focused on building for the future despite a roaring start to the season, we've fallen back down to earth and our record is beginning to slide down to our pre-season expectations heading into this year. That said, due to the 'pillow-soft' western conference, as one eastern GM said to me, we still remain 17 pts comfortable inside of a playoff spot.
Our trade deadline could go either way depending on the offers and conversations fielded. We will sell, if possible. But I might get bored like Kirklan™ and decide to do a 180' and completely shift trajectory and add instead because yolo.
On the block:
Darcy Kuemper - UFA (If a team wants a vezina finalist, with a FP tag available, he could be a solid add in net)
Brandon Montour - UFA (Again, I won't be tagging him, but maybe another team would?)
Marcus Foligno - UFA

I'd also be willing to buy a highly rated forward, even a UFA, with my 1st round pick as part of the package and maybe help my playoff odds if I do not like the offers I get for the players on my block. So if you got a playoff rental player who you think could help my team, shoot me a message as well.
