Horvat Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 To: Nsh Christopher Higgins/Bradley Richardson + 4th To: Van Viktor Arviddson + 3rd + 7th "Arvidsson is a small forward, only 5' 9" and 176 pounds. While that doesn't mean he can't be an impact player in the NHL, he will have to continue to develop his game to stick on the roster. But we all know that the Predators need creative play makers, so Arvidsson is an intriguing pick." -The View from 111 [/spoiler "The Hockey Writers caught up with Arvidsson in the locker room after development camp to discuss his career and ambitious goals. The Hockey Writers: How does it feel to finally be drafted after 4 years of being passed over? Viktor Arvidsson: It’s a great feeling. I’ve worked hard for this. THW: Why do you think teams overlooked you even though you won SHL Rookie of the Year in 2013? Arvidsson: I don’t know. My size maybe? I think I’ve proved I can play against big players, so I don’t think my size matters. THW: Do you just work harder despite your size? Arvidsson: Of course. I work really hard back home. I workout 5 times a week — cardio twice a week. THW: Have you talked to Filip Forsberg since you’ve reunited? Arvidsson: Yeah, we were good buddies back from the World Juniors and stuff like that, so I know him very well. THW: What is your future next year? Arvidsson: My plan is to play here (Nashville). I’m going to do my best this week and maybe I can come to training camp. So, we’ll see. THW: What do you need to do to prove to the coaching staff that you can play here next year? Arvidsson: I don’t know. Just play my best. Come here everyday and do my best and be consistent. THW: Who do you replicate your game to? Arvidsson: I like one guy on my team back at home Oscar Moller. He played for the LA Kings. I look up to him and try to take stuff from him. THW: Do you have a pregame routine? Arvidsson: Take some coffee, sit with my sticks. I just try to relax and not think about the game and have to focus." -The Hockey Writers Thoughts on the trade? Thoughts on the prospect?

Shink Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Trades is pretty good but that 3rd coming back to us should be a 2nd and take off the 7th. To nashville: Higgins and 4th To van: arvidsson and 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teen Icarus Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I can't see benning going for a smaller forward; if anything he'd be looking more for 2-way defensemen and power forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimp C Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Canucks accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'd say no, Richardson has offensive upside and Higgins is our rock solid consistent guy on forwards. To give either one up for a prospect right now isn't smart. And I'm pretty sure Nashville doesn't need any more players at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horvat Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 btw arvidsson was a fourth round pick last year because he was small, who else was a 4th round pick johnny gaudreau but he's smaller, anyways, arvidsson is 2nd in the rookie AHL scoring race with 42pts in 52gp 16 goals and 26 assists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven pounds soft Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Speaking of Johnny hockey... I'm really a fan of him and pull for smaller players but my boss who is a flamer is losing faith. Says Johnny looks scared. I was like, yea , he is 120 pounds. Anyways hope he figures it out. On topic... I would do this trade for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejazz97 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 id also go: Higgins/Richardson + 4th + Jensen, for; Arvidsson + 2nd Why? We can't afford to lose RW depth. Jensen is the first callup if a scorer goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
