Ryan O'Reilly Reportedly on the Trade Block in Nashville Per Top NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman
The Nashville Predators 2024/25 season has been a disaster, and while the team may not be having a fire sale, it appears as though Ryan O'Reilly could be moved.
Despite high expectations coming into the 2024/25 season, the Nashville Predators have face planted their way through the first half of their campaign, and while the team aren't pushing to trade stars like Steven Stamkos, it may ultimately become inevitable.
Now, according to a new report from insider Elliotte Friedman, Ryan O'Reilly may be the first name moved out of Nashville, as he revealed that the team would consider an offer on ROR.
The most intriguing part of that entire report is that O'Reilly doesn't have any type of protection on his new contract, but according to Friedman, the team will treat him like he does, and only deal him to a place that he accepts.
That goes to show just how much respect the Predators and their front office have for the veteran, but if he sees that he clearly doesn't have a chance to win in Nashville, it would be a shock to see him not want out of it.
At this point, Nashville are 13-22-7 on the season as they have just passed the half way mark, and with the team sitting 14th in the conference and almost 15 points out of a Wild Card spot, if the team aren't willing to move O'Reilly, it's very tough to see how their season plays out.
