We have news on the NHL trade market, and it involves the Nashville Predators.

According to various reliable sources, including directly from General Manager Barry Trotz…

Trotz is working to add a center: “Nobody is trading anyone right now.”

The Preds are indeed currently working to finalize a trade involving a center.

The problem is Trotz is having trouble finding a trade partner.

An opportunity for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens with Christian Dvorak?

The Habs do have a player that fits their criteria in Dvorak, and I can’t believe Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton wouldn’t be open to trading him.

All of this aligns with information from the reputable site TFP.

“The Predators’ general manager would like to add a center.” – The Fourth Period

This will definitely be a situation to keep an eye on, but Christian Dvorak seems to be a great fit for what the Nashville Predators are currently looking for in the trade market.

He’s no longer worth a first-round pick like he used to be, of course, but he could possibly fill a useful role for Barry Trotz’s team as a reliable, all-around center.

Dvorak, 28, has one point in seven games this season, after recording nine points in 30 games last year.

In his NHL career, he has accumulated 217 points in 459 games.

He’s currently in the final year of a contract paying him $4.45 million per year.
