Three potential trade candidates for the Nashville Predators
Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean: Nashville Predators new GM Chris MacFarland has been busy this offseason by adding seven new players to his roster through free agency and trades with the Avalanche and Stars. They have 26 players under contract at the moment, and will need to get that number down to 23 by the start of season.

Potential trade candidates
1. Ilya Lyubushkin – Landing Mavrik Bourque was the key piece of the Dallas Stars trade, salary removal. A team may come calling for his physical game and net them a late-round pick.
2. Jonathan Marchessault – He’s well aware of how poorly last season went. His underlying numbers have decreased the past five seasons and MacFarland is a data guy. Won’t be easy to find someone to take on the $5.5 million.
3. Joakim Kemell – The former first-round pick is only 22, but his offense hasn’t developed. Trade return may be a third-round pick or an equivalent player.
