Chase Bradley

Drury was acquired from the Avalanche at the beginning of this off-season in exchange for Zach Larou and Fedor Svechkov.

Drury came with a third-round pick and AHL forward Chase Bradley to Nashville, and then immediately signed a five-year, $4.5 million annual salary contract to make him a Pred through the prime of his career as he goes into his age-27 season.

Nothing-nothing after one.

You heard it from Jack Drury.

from Colorado and immediately signed him to a five-year contract for $4.5 million a year.

He also got a third-round pick from the Avs in that deal and AHL winger Chase Bradley.

Drury is an intriguing piece, Willie.

He basically takes over the role that has been passed down of these Preds' defensive bottom six centers over the years, most recently held by Colton Sissons and Mike McCarron.

So that's pretty notable.

The rest of the names on there, Chase Bradley.

Are pretty obvious.

Jake Lucchini, Ben Strindon, Daniel Nieman, whatever.

It's also down to 33 players total at time of taping because Chase Brett, no surprises here other than maybe one name.

But Lucini, Daniel Niemann, Ben Striden, David Edstrom, not Adam Edstrom, but David Edstrom, Chase Bradley, and then Joachim Kemmel.

all sent down to Milwaukee.

Kemmel was a name that we were going to discuss as this four or five guys competing for two or three spots.

But that's not it.

A few days later, they end up getting Jack Drury and Chase Bradley from Colorado in a third for Fyodor Svechkov and Zachary Leroux.

Okay.

um they traded one of the most italian names in rizzo massimo or massimo rizzo i could do either way like that's incredible for adam and edstrom um they ended up getting uh nils hoglander from vancouver um i think one of the more the most notable trade is acquiring maverick bork from dallas for a second and a third but they also got labushkin so a little bit of cap them and like that oh and then for whatever reason they're like oh luke evangelist is pretty good let's just get rid of them I don't know why they did

He was constantly having wide open nets that were getting saved miraculously or missing just wide or just some sort of mystical thing got in the way of him scoring goals and it seemed almost impossible for him he was able to bury one this last postseason and he played fairly well for what i thought but there were also those games that he did the exact opposite and played pretty bad all All right, next was another player that was taken from us and sent to Nashville.

It was Jack Drury, also prospect, Chase Bradley.

And since we got two third-round picks, might as well send one away.

2029 third-round pick is gone.

It's very interesting to look at the players that have come in because he certainly plucked his old team pretty quickly.

Acquiring Ross Colton, Jack Drury, Chase Bradley, and Jack Ashon from, as we mentioned, the Colorado Avalanche.

Maverick Bork, Ilya Labushkin coming from Dallas, Nils Hoeglander from Vancouver, Alex Kerfoot from Utah, and Adam Enstrom from the New York Rangers.

You do lose Eric Holla, Fedor Shvedchkov, and Zach LaRue, but...

Shevnikov? Yep, there we go.

Zachary LaRue from Nashville for Jack Drury and Chase Bradley in a 20-29 third round pick.

Valerie Nishushkin went to Columbus.

But the trade for that was a little light.

So going out is Eric Holla, Fedor Svichkov, Tyson Jost, Zachary Leheroux, Jordan Osterly, Andreas Englund, and Luke Evangelista.

Coming in is Ross Colton, Jack Drury, Chase Bradley, Adam Enstrom, Nils Hoglander, Maverick Bork, Ilya Libushkin, Alex Kerfoot got a two-year deal at 3.5, Jack Sean got a two-year deal at $875,000, and Hunter Skinner came in on a one-year deal at $850,000.

They gave Jack Drury a five-year extension at 4.5. Chase Bradley got a two-year extension at 875,000.

Maverick Port got a six-year extension at 5.5. And Justin Baron got a one-year extension at 1.575.

I don't know if there's any Family Guy fans out there, but Chris McFarland is literally the episode where Brian was telling Peter that he has orbit, and he threw the TV on him, and it was three stooges, and Peter's like,
