Yep, it was a big rumour in early '95, and it was the beginning of 20+ years of boos for Gary Bettman, haha. And I remember those Penguins rumors too. If it weren't for Crosby, the team might've been on the move to Hamilton, Kansas City, or Vegas.
And as much as I like the current Preds jersey (still think they should bring back a tweaked version of their recent blue alternate to complete the set), I miss the early uniforms they wore, too. Their original alternate is one of my favorite so-bad-it's-good jerseys from the early 2000s, along with the Bruins and Coyotes. As great as the return to traditional style jerseys many teams are making is, it was fun to see some of those wacky designs, as hit and miss as they were.
