P.K. Subban sees many things in Nashville; an opportunity, a vibe, a reflection of oneself.

The newest member of the Predators and their ascendant defensive corps was introduced to the media Monday, immediately speaking in adulation for the city in which he'll soon establish roots.

"It's been really, really fun. Nashville is a fun city - great people and great energy," Subban said, via TSN.

"I'm a high-energy person. Just really a zest for life, I guess you could say. I wake up every morning and just try to be better - a better person and better at what I do. I feel like Nashville is the type of city filled with people like that."

He added: "There's no question that this is a city that I'm going to embrace as home."

Subban said he feels like a rookie again, entering a new market, organization, and having a new slate of teammates. But he believes the benefit of six NHL seasons will make for a seamless transition.

"I'm definitely more prepared now to understand how to come into a new situation and build - build every day. Build relationships on and off the ice, and just progress and get better every day."

With continued advancements at the individual and team level, Subban believes he's in an environment where he can fulfill his championship aspirations he now shares with a franchise that parted with its captain to acquire him.

"I'm excited about the opportunity to win a Stanley Cup," he said. "That's what this is all about."

The Russian Hockey Federation has named a replacement for Slava Voynov on its roster for the World Cup of Hockey, appointing Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Nikita Nesterov to the squad.

Voynov was named to the initial roster for the NHL-branded showcase despite serving an indefinite suspension after being arrested and charged following a domestic incident in October 2014.

The Russian Federation fought to have the former Los Angeles Kings defender exempt after being informed of Voynov's ineligibility but was once again overruled, and acknowledged as such Monday.

Nesterov, 23, represented Russia in junior competition, but never at the men's level. He was on Russia's second- and third-place teams at the 2012 and 2013 World Junior Hockey Championships.

He joins Nikita Kucherov, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Andrei Vasilevskiy on the Russian squad, and makes 13 Lightning players named to the event.

In the Russian Federation's statement, Voynov's candidacy for international events was emphasized, as well as the fact that he and his wife were recently married.

Age is more than just a number to New York Rangers general manager Jeff Gorton.

Related: Brassard, Zibanejad deal provides value to both sides

Following news that his club had acquired forward Mika Zibanejad in a trade for forward Derick Brassard, Gorton told media Monday that the deal made too much sense not to pull the trigger.

"This is a younger player, that's coming off two 20-goal seasons ... he is just scratching the surface," Gorton said.

He added, "This is an opportunity to get better and we took it."

At 28, Brassard is five years older than Zibanejad with a larger cap hit. Zibanejad gives New York a player who has fared less productively on the power play, but provides value on the penalty kill.

Zibanejad averaged 1.42 minutes of short-handed ice time per game this past season, chipping in with two short-handed goals - a welcome addition to a team that boasted the 26th-ranked penalty kill last season.

The New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators gave hockey fans something to chew on nearly three weeks after free agency opened up.

The clubs exchanged talented forwards, swapping Mika Zibanejad and a second-round pick in 2018 for Derick Brassard and a seventh-round pick in 2018.

At first glance it can be hard to determine who exactly came out the winner in the transaction and that is simply a product of a deal that aids both sides.

Ottawa Senators

In Brassard the Senators acquire a forward who has seen his goal production climb every year since the 2012-13 season. He's coming off his most lethal season, hitting a career-high 27 goals in 80 games.

The club also addresses its need for improvement on the power play. Last season the Senators finished 26th in the league, capitalizing on just 15.8 percent of their chances.

Brassard, meanwhile, scored 22 of his 58 points last season with the extra man, contributing eight goals in the process. Meanwhile, Zibanejad managed just two power-play goals and 11 power-play points last season.

The 28-year-old will also join a familiar face behind the team's bench. Guy Boucher - who joined the Senators this offseason - coached Brassard during his last year of junior hockey with the Drummondville Voltigeurs of the QMJHL during the 2007-07 season.

While he was limited to just 14 games during the regular season, Brassard collected six goals and 25 games and another 24 points in 12 playoff games under Boucher's watchful eye.

Factor in that Brassard has put up 18 goals and 44 points in 59 playoff games over the last four years and the Senators gain a player who should aid them in their pursuit to return to the postseason.

New York Rangers

In Zibanejad the Rangers also acquire a player - who like Brassard - has seen his production rise incrementally every year since he stepped onto the ice full-time during the 2012-13 season.

Zibanejad put up his second straight season with 20 or more goals, adding another 30 assists and should provide value in his new division.

Where Brassard might make up for power-play production, Zibanejad makes up with a knack for the clutch. The Sweden native led the Senators with seven game-winning goals, three more than the next closest Senators skater and two more than Brassard.

The Rangers also acquire a forward who is over five years younger than Brassard. In a sense, New York flipped a seventh-round pick for a second - not too shabby.

Of course, the deal also helps the Rangers free up nearly $2.5 million in salary, giving them a comfortable $10.65 million of cap space and opens up room to be flexible in future deals.

Here are the fantasy implications of the Ottawa Senators trading C Mika Zibanejad to the New York Rangers in exchange for C Derick Brassard:

A quality move for the Rangers sees them net a player five-and-half years younger than the one they're giving up. The Rangers also receive a second-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft from the Senators, while giving up just a seventh-round selection in the same draft.

Zibanejad notched career highs with 21 goals and 30 assists for 51 points in 2015-16, with 40 of those points coming at 5-on-5. Brassard scored a career high 27 goals but his point total dropped to 58, after hitting 60 in 2014-15. Twenty-two of his 58 points came on the power play, leaving just 36 5-on-5 points.

Redraft Leagues

Brassard was the Rangers' first line center last season, playing the majority of his 5v5 minutes with Ws Mats Zuccarello and Rick Nash. Zibanejad is more likely to slot into a second-line role, with C Derek Stepan moving onto the top line. As a result, Zibanejad will likely suit up between Ws Chris Kreider and J.T. Miller.

Zibanejad played most often with Ws Mark Stone and Mike Hoffman in Ottawa, as he took over the first-line center job once C Kyle Turris was finally ruled out for the season due to an ankle injury. Brassard will likely see his playing time come in between Ws Bobby Ryan and Zack Smith, unless a younger player such as Curtis Lazar, Logan Brown or Nick Paul is able to win a top-six job out of camp.

On his own, Brassard is likely the superior player in the immediate future, though he does move to the lesser team. Zibanejad was able to nearly match Brassard's production last season, and he'll now move to the better team.

Both players can be considered near equals for the 2016-17 NHL and fantasy hockey season. They're safe bets for between 50 and 60 points, with Brassard possessing the safer floor and Zibanejad having a higher ceiling. In standard goals, assists, points, PIMs, and power-play points leagues, both players can be considered quality mid-round options or as the 15th-20th center.

Keeper/Dynasty Leagues

At 23 years of age as opposed to Brassard's 28 years, Zibanejad was already the better dynasty asset. He has improved his goals, assists and points totals in each season of his young career, and he registered a career-high 184 shots on goal in 2015-16.

Brassard has scored at least 58 points in each of his previous two seasons, topping a former career-high of 47 points back in 2010-11 while with the Columbus Blue Jackets. He registered 182 SOG last season, one shy of his total from 2010-11.

Brassard is still in the prime of his career and has several high-quality seasons ahead of him. Zibanejad's geographical future is undecided as he enters the final year of his contract in 2016-17, but his progression is bound to continue wherever he goes.
