For weeks, months even, IAYF co-hosts Michael Gallagher, Geert De Lombaerde and Megan Seling have been begging the Nashville Predators to put Eeli Tolvanen on the ice and pair him with top-line players like Filip Forsberg. Well, Coach Hynes finally heard them, and look what happened: Tolvanen has three points in five games, two of which are power-play goals.

You have to wonder: With the playoffs being a longshot at this point, why won’t the Preds just admit they’re going to rebuild and give their younger guys a chance?

Also discussed this week: What kind of return would the Preds get in a Mattias Eckholm deal? And what’ll happen to the team’s goaltending now that Juuse Saros is out with an injury?

Plus: Seling has a great marketing suggestion should the team decide to finally embrace the rebuild.
