Predators Need A Surprise At Forward

from John Glennon of the Tennessean,
With the continued absence of injured Steve Sullivan, the recent defection of Alexander Radulov, the departure of Darcy Hordichuk and the news that Jed Ortmeyer will miss at least the next month — and likely longer — due to a blood clot, there are spots for the taking.
Players who haven’t seen a moment of NHL action, such as Patric Hornqvist and Ryan Jones, are being considered for some of the roles, as are American Hockey League veterans Rich Peverley, Antti Pihlstrom, Josh Gratton and Michael Ryan.
“We’ve got a lot of things to look at,” Predators General Manager David Poile said. “ … I’m always looking for that great surprise. There’s always something like that that happens in training camp.’’

They should sign Shanahan. That would be a surprise.

The Preds don’t need a surprise at forward.
They need about 2 or 3 surprises. They’re a team comprised almost entirely of 3rd and 4th liners at this point, much like they were when they came into the league.

Its sad to hear about Ortmeyer having blood clots, especially after having a pulmonary embolism when he was with the Rangers. Jed was a true ‘mentsch’ when he was with the Rangers, and I - as well as probably every Rangers fan - wish him a speedy recovery
