After a tweet quoting a well know hockey insider revealed that Predators free agent Filip Forsberg's alleged asking price in his contract negotiations was "somewhere in the low 8s", Nashville Predators fans had very strong reactions. On today's episode, Nick and Ann look what this alleged asking price means for the contract negotiations and how it fits (or doesn't) with the narrative that General Manager David Poile has been sharing of late. With Forsberg's camp rumored to be asking less than Forsberg's worth on the free agency market, why hasn't the organization gotten a deal done yet? Nick and Ann examine the potential hangups to a done deal. We share some very real concerns that arise knowing Forsberg's price is favorable for the franchise and how the question of "buy in" may be better directed at David Poile than #9 and his camp. We wrestle with the question no one really wants to ask - does Poile actually want Forsberg back? We go right to the worst case scenario - if Forsberg doesn't sign with Nashville - and what that decision could ultimately cost Poile in the long run.
