Nashville Czechs out a few players from Tampa

[Slava]

Well in looking at the standings I realise that I'm in tough to make the playoffs, currently sitting five points back with four teams ahead of me (and some have a game in hand). I could trundle along and wait for next year...sounds fund to play out the string from December! Instead I sent out messages to plenty of GMs today seeking to make some deals and enjoy building a team to play out that string with. I hope lots of deals are to come from this! First up, Tampa:

To Tampa Bay

John Moore
Matt Tennyson
Nashville 3rd (2017)
little bit of cash

To Nashville

Radko Gudas
Jakub Kindl
Karel Vejmelka
Nashville 2nd, 2016

The dmen swap are virtually even IMO, with Moore looking pretty solid, but my not needing more offensive puck-movers on the blue line. Instead I swap him for a more physical guy in Gudas. I am pretty excited about Vejmelka who is a Czech goaltending prospect still playing in the Czech Republic and on their list for the WJC selection camp.

The pick swap and Vejmelka were basically to even out the difference between Moore and Gudas.

Thanks to Tampa for the talks and deal.

We are very excited to add Moore. And where Nashville had a glutton of puck movers, it was an area of the Tampa needed to improve. Check mate ��

Seems pretty even to me!
