Predators Rebuild, Flyers Hold Ristolainen

NHL stories making news on March 13th. The Nashville Predators are shaking up their front office

with General Manager Barry Trott stepping down soon. This could impact stars like Captain Roman

Josie, Steven Stamcoes, and Ryan O'Reilly as the team dives deeper into a rebuild.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Flyers held on to defenseman Rasmus Ristilainen at the trade deadline,

leading up to last Friday's deadline, the Predators moved several players including Michael McCarran,

Cole Smith, Nick Blankenberg, and Michael. Bunting between March 3rd and 6th,

Trott said he got close to trading Stamcoes or O'Reilly, but held firm, respecting Stamcoes' full

no-movement clause and treating O'Reilly similarly. Fans and insiders are watching Josie closely.

The 35-year-old defenseman has spent his entire 15-season career in Nashville and has two years

left on his deal. A new GM might push harder on roster changes, prompting Josie's camp to see

clarity on the team's direction. Over in Philadelphia, GM Danny Breyer shopped Ristilainen,

but turned down offers that fell short of a first-round pick and a prospect.

He stressed it wasn't a fire sale, and sources say they might revisit a trade this summer,

or next year. The Flyers have bigger Aussies and priorities, too, like finding a solid

back-up goalie for Sam Urson, adding center depth, and possibly buying out.

Winger garnered pathways final year at $2.4 million. This episode is brought to you in
