Predators open to trading 1st-round pick, but not Tolvanen

Nashville Predators general manager David Poile appears to have set some spending limits in advance of Monday's trade deadline.

Poile reiterated Thursday that he's leaning more toward doing nothing than something based on the asking prices set by his colleagues, according to Thomas Willis from the Predators' website.

"Every team we talk to asks for Eeli Tolvanen, and he's not available," Poile said.

The Predators selected Tolvanen 30th overall in 2017 and he recently recorded three goals and six assists in five games at the Olympics. He's expected the join the Preds for the stretch run.

Poile, however, is open to dealing the team's 2018 first-round pick:

As it stands, the Predators will add Mike Fisher to their roster after the veteran center announced he's coming out of retirement for the balance of this season.
