Trades are never easy when it’s involving a player that you adore and respect like Viktor Arvidsson was for the Nashville Predators. Unfortunately, this can be a tough business, but you have to think about the greater good of the franchise.

The Predators made their first splash of the offseason on Thursday by trading Arvidsson to the Los Angeles Kings for two draft picks, with a second-round pick coming in 2021 and a third-round pick coming in 2022.
