#ThrowbackThursday: Best Preds Trades of the Decade
The Tennessean-USA TODAY SportsA lot has happened to the Preds in this past decade. At this time ten years ago, the team had never won a playoff series, Pekka Rinne had only been the full-time starting goalie for about ten months, and we still had hope that Alexander Radulov might return to lead Smashville to the promised land.
Another thing that happened in this decade? David Poile earned a reputation as a G.M. willing to make some WILD trades.
Big Trade Dave, as he’s known (by me), made a couple of moves that raised eyebrows across the league. And to his credit, a lot of them paid off.
