Why did Stamkos pick Nashville?| OverDrive - Hour 2 - 07/10/2024

Bryan Hayes, Dave Feschuk and Al’s Brother are joined by Nashville Predators general manager Barry Trotz to discuss the team’s pitch to Steven Stamkos, what made the former Tampa Bay Lightning captain pick the Predators so quick in free agency, the move from head coach to general manager, where the no state tax advantage comes into play when luring free agents to your team and more. The boys go through some tweets in the drafts folder and see if they should be sent, saved or the account be deleted and debate whether or not an average golfer can win the Masters by starting on the green every hole with everyone else playing the course like normal.

I wonder if Rick Robitaille thinks this is a live chat.

[@aangoz5041]

He does. I noticed him doing this on other overdrive uploads. It's a little bit endearing lol

[@OilersHD97]

Nice city, no state income tax

[@aichicanadian]

Because the HaukTuah girl is from nashville.

[@brandonf24]

Actually she's from Cornersville if I'm not mistaken...she's just like the rest of us in the Greater Nashville Metro Area that dogpile onto Broadway for fun in our 20s.

[@brandonf24]

How the Preds treated fairly with McDonagh eventually trading him back to TB at his request, the Preds late season run over 18 games despite a lack of a 2nd line to contribute offense in that time or vs the Canucks, and a cup-winning coach turned GM that is daring greatly while the window is still open for Forsberg, Josi, and Saros who aren't getting any younger either. Likewise, this franchise was the 7th winningest team over the past decade, separated from teams 1-6 by a Stanley Cup.

[@ksteele8388]

For a team that wasnt even supposed to make the playoffs and all the additions this team should be a contender

Hopefully, not because he's a country music fan. 😮

[@carparthero]

stamkos signed for more money with NSH than he’s worth. his contract will age like room temperature milk by year 3. likely even sooner than that. stamkos at this stage of his career, is not gonna be playing top 6 center minutes for most teams worth a shit, such as NSH. they are going to find out very quickly he doesn’t have the wheels to be a top 6 center in this league anymore. he has remained relevant because of where he gets fed pucks from arguably the best passer in the league. his 5v5 scoring has decreased the last 3 years. 19 of his 40 goals last season came from the PP. he also doesn't have much of a 2-way game as he was a dogshit -21. as a tampa fan, wishing steven all the best. except when he plays against the lightning.

Absolutely hate Trashville, but respect Trotz tremendously. I pick Nashville to win the west next year and possibly win the cup. Teams like Vancouver are gonna get destroyed by Nashville, especially since all the big guns Nashville signed on July 1st.

[@DR.DisInfect]

They should make the playoffs

[@AlGrundauFlamesTroll]

BWAHAHA did you forget that Edmonton runs the west? Trashville and Bruce Willis can smoke the CaNoStanleyCups but they’ll get flattened by Canada’s team. McJesus and Leon will make O’Reilly and Stephanie Stamkos their children

[@AlGrundauFlamesTroll]

@@DR.DisInfectAnd promptly get mopped by oilers. No one’s scared of 34 year old and slow stammer who didn’t do sh it against Florida

[@Woody13ify]

Nah it’s Dallas vs Oilers for who represents West in SC imho! Tho Colorado depending on injuries and goaltending could throw a spanner/wrench into the works, if I was Avs I’d go all in & go get Hellerbuyck from the Jets!

[@utrinqueparatusman]

Best thing for Tampa was getting rid of Stamkos. He has lingering injuries he’s not a born leader so was never a good pick for captain. Sure he scores goals but let’s face it they all from the same plays usually. Mediocre player. Time will tell but Stamkos in my opinion isn’t a great!
