Last Week what's up

 There will be a rundown of everyone at the end of the year so no particular reason to go over Nunez's power surge or Wood's power drop (before today) right now. Instead let's meet some newer guys since there are a lot of new faces around    Jorge Alfaro - in the "we gotta try something behind the plate" world that the Nats are in - here is Alfaro.  If the name sounds familiar we was a big-time prospect about a decade ago for the Phillies, a key piece to the Rangers trade f...

Preds sign D Nick Perbix in free agency

The Nashville Predators have signed the former Tampa Bay Lightning defender for two years at an AAV of $2.75M. This brings the number of similarly-named players acquired for the blueline this week to two, after yesterday’s signing of Nicolas Hague . Perbix, who just turned 27, scored 19 points (6G/13A) in a third-pair role for the Bolts last season. The team struggled with puck control while he was paired with his usual defense partner, Emil Lilleberg. However, he played better with other...

Free Agency Day Open Thread

Last year I made a joke about how we’d all sit around and wait for the inevitable Steven Stamkos re-signing in Tampa to be massively overshadowed by some other trade, and, uh, as you all know, that didn’t happen. This year I got nothin’. Pull up a chair and let’s see what happens.

Preds trade Sissons, Lauzon for D Nicolas Hague

The Nashville Predators made one move today before free agency began, trading Colton Sissons and Jeremy Lauzon to the Vegas Golden Knights for defender Nicolas Hague and a conditional 2027 draft pick. The Preds also agreed to retain salary on Sissons. Under those circumstances, it’s disappointing but not surprising to see that Hague’s on-ice impact for Vegas last season wasn’t the best. The 26-year-old is a low-scoring defender who struggled to move the puck out of the zone, though the Pr...

Nashville Predators Draft Day 2 Summary

The Preds made some trades and some picks today. Toward the end of the draft it seemed as if they just didn’t like a lot of the available options, swapping multiple picks for same-round picks next season. During the first round yesterday, they made three picks (and a trade): center Brady Martin at 5th , defender Cameron Reid at 21st , and forward Ryker Lee at 26th . Here are today’s additions: Jacob Rombach | Defender | Pick #35, 2nd Round 6’6″ defender Jacob Rombach spent the l...

Nashville Predators draft F Ryker Lee 26th overall

With the 26th overall pick, originally from the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Preds have drafted forward Ryker Lee. Lee — a graduate of Shattuck St. Mary’s — played for the Madison Capitols of the USHL last season, where he accumulated 58 points (31G/38A) in 68 games. He’s committed to play hockey at Michigan State University. This is a little earlier than many scouts projected Lee going, but EliteProspects evaluates him as a talented puckhandler and great passer. While they note he’s not...

Nashville Predators draft D Cameron Reid 21st overall

The Preds traded the 23rd and 67th picks to the Ottawa Senators to move up and draft 21st, where they selected defender Cameron Reid, who may have fallen a little to get there — many scouting reports had him ranked a few places higher. Reid spent the last two seasons with the Kitchener Rangers, scoring 21 points (2G/21A) in 43 games in the first of those seasons and 54 points (14G/40A) in 67 games this year, where he was also awarded an A for the team. The scouting report at ElitePro...

Nashville Predators draft C Brady Martin 5th overall

With the fifth overall pick in the NHL Draft, the Preds have selected center Brady Martin. Martin played for the Saulte Ste. Marie Greyhounds last season, and represented Canada at the WJC, wearing an A for both teams. Almost every scouting organization had him set to go in the first half of the first round, and although he came off the board a little earlier than expected, the Preds remain in dire need of a strong center. He was described by Elite Prospects as a physical, hard-hitti...

Packers Periscope: Minny Mistakes, Jammed the Rams and More

The weather was too nice for a game like that on Sunday at Lambeau Field. With all the momentum of winning two games without Jordan Love, the Packers had no answers early for Sam Darnold, Aaron Jones and Justin Jefferson as they skated off to a 28-0 lead before fans could crack their first Miller Lite. The turnovers, the pass rush and just mistake-riddled effort is not what we had in mind. But even with the brutal start, the Packers made it more than interesting, getting to within 6 points f...

Confessions of a Polluted Mindset - No Laundering Needed

My source inside the Vikings organization tell me the Vikings saved some money this week by not needing to have Sam Darnold's jersey laundered. Look, I watched a lot of Sam Darnold when he played for the Jets. I liked him coming out of college and would always tell my Giants fans friends that he would be a better quarterback than Daniel Jones. He has a strong and accurate arm when he can comfortably step into throws, When he's under pressure is when it all falls apart and the interceptions and...

Packers Vs. Vikings - 3 Plays That Make You Go Hmmm

After re-watching the Packers game, here are three plays that made me go hmmm, for various reasons. In general, I try to focus on a theme, the less obvious, or things I didn't notice watching live. These are not likely to be "highlight" plays. Packers two-point conversion Before Matt LaFleur came to town, the Packers success on two point conversions ranked somewhere from middle of the pack to bottom third in the NFL. Since his arrival, their success rate has ranked them in the top 10 to to...

Around the NFC North" 2024 Week 4

Not a great week! At least we had some glimpses of positivity and I don't have to write about a 30-point Packers loss.  Vikings The Vikings held on to win against the Pack, 31-29 (there were two missed field goals for the Packers).   Game Notes This was a weird one. The Vikings got out to a 28-0 lead thanks to some bad turnovers and missed opportunities from the Packers and then had an insane punt muff lead to a touchdown right before the half that started an avalanche of Packers point...
