09:47 AM ET 08.27 | As the Predators begin the process of replacing injured forward Steve Sullivan for the next three months, General Manager David Poile said the first step is to look within the organization. But he's not ruling out the possibility of a trade. Don't expect that to happen in the near future. Poile pointed out that recently signed forward Martin Gelinas might step into a more prominent role due to Sullivan's back injury, and also noted that several Nashville forwards -- such as Vern Fiddler, Jordin Tootoo and Scott Nichol -- moved up to the first two lines at times last season.

they HAVE to look within the organization - they have nothing left to use as trade bait, and no other free agents want to sign there...well, maybe give Jason Allison a call, he's gotta be desperate enough by now...as long as you don't mind seeing your defencemen beat your centre to the opponent's zone!

So THATS the effects of all the back surgeries, drugs and rehab... makes you age about 30 years! Man, they gotta get "Steve" a hospital room with some sunlight --he sure looks like they put him away wet after the surgery! Look how "Steve Sullivan" looks after all his medical troubles, and just imagine what Barry Bonds is gonna look like in 10 years from all his medical experimenting (insert picture of Redd Foxx at 82 for full effect!). ... and remind me to get my photos developed at a different place than these guys here do --lest my wife comes out looking more like Jessica Tandy than Jessica Alba.

"Steve Sullivan" looks suspiciously like David Poile in that pic... could it be? Sully and Poile are THE SAME PERSON !!! Creepy...

Any chance Alexander Radulov can be converted to center? He was great in the minors last year and showed a few flashes with the Preds. If he can be converted it would be a great move, providing they can find someone to take his place on the wing.

Nothing left to offer? We got people coveting our young defense corp like no tomorrow. Right now we got eight excellent blue liners and one has to go. Koistenin is expected to be the next Kimmo Timmonen for the team in the future. Someone will want our toys.

Wow!! David Poile errr ummm... Steve Sullivan looks like he aged a full 20 years from that back surgery alone! I kinda wanna see what Giguere looks like now after his hip surgery. MORE PICTURES Bruce Bennett/Getty Images!

This is the wrong headline! It should read instead: PREDATORS IN MARKET FOR OWNER! (DC)

Tootoo has a lot in common with Avery: he's dating a celebrity and it a gutless cheap-shot artist.

Is that David Poile, Bud Selig or Steven Hawking in the picture?

August 28, 2007  12:28 PM ET

Jason Allison is a good call.
Maybe Jeff O'Neil or Peter Bondra?

Jason Allison? They're a team that uses speed not immovable statues. He'll be good on the powerplay if they use an overload or crash the net type strat. Otherwise don cherry runs faster backwards than this guy skating forward

PopKing, that's a composite of all three of the people you mentioned plus Mr. Spock!
