What They're Saying: Experts React to Preds' Trade for Turris

W/Johansen-Turris (& Bonino) signed long term at center & their strength on D, @PredsNHL are set up to be the best in the West for a while

Great trade news! Duchene will do well for @Senators. Amazing for @PredsNHL landing Kyle Turris! All teams benefit from this one. #trades

I also think Kyle Turris will thrive as a 2C behind Johansen. That's a pretty nice 1-2 punch down the middle in Nashville.

Nashville has built up center depth quite a bit. Johansen, Turris, Bonino (when healthy), Jarnkrok, Sissons, Gaudreau

Hockey is a business, but our community takes a hit with the loss of Kyle & Julie Turris. They are the epitome of class and selflessness.

Great addition to @PredsNHL. Scored big goals in post season last spring for Ott. Poile fills a need yet again. https://t.co/qGd5zWt1Kk

Next time someone talks about how difficult it is to make a deal in the salary cap era, direct them to David Poile's trade history.

Nashville Predators Centers r R.Johansen (acquired by trade), K.Turris (acquired by trade) & N.Bonino (free agent) Great work by David Poile

Nashville went from having zero center depth to sporting Ryan Johansen and Kyle Turris down the middle within two years. #Preds

David Poile showed lots of interest in Duchene for almost a year. Kyle Turris more than a consolation prize. Great fit in Nashville.
