from Lightning Strikes,
Given the team’s cap number, it is much more likely to swap players for minor-league depth or draft choices. That means the rumors about Bryan McCabe, Darryl Sydor and Pavel Kubina can stop.
I know it’s been mentioned a great deal around the Internet before, but it is worth repeating here: Nashville seems a likely trading partner. Think about it. The Predators have 13 draft picks next year and a ton of defensive depth that includes prospects such as Cody Franson, Alex Sulzer and Jonathon Blum.
Two things are at play: The Lightning believes it is set at forward, and, as Koules said, “We feel better about our kids (on defense) than anybody else.”
