Another door might have opened for the Nashville Predators this Trade Deadline.
As the center market heats up, with names like Vincent Trocheck, Robert Thomas, and Nazem Kadri taking the cake, many teams will look to explore their options as Friday creeps up. To Nashville, their center trade candidate Ryan O'Reilly isn't really a "candidate" rather a trade choice.
O'Reilly has made it clear that he doesn't want to leave the Nashville scene, and the team has defended it. However, recent events could pressure the Predators into opening the floodgates for more deals to come, including a move involving the Factor.
