Synopsis
The Nashville Predators have plenty of decisions to make this offseason. Unfortunately, those decisions are limited unless the Predators clear some cap space. It is hard, but that is the nature of the game. When winning championships is expected, you have to make tough decisions.
Subban and Turris are the most obvious players to move. They both are paid handsomely and would open up a ton of cap space and flexibility for the Predators. The Predators can take that cap space and sign two, really good players in Duchene and Dzingel. They also will open up a spot for Fabbro to play top four minutes on defense.
The Nashville Predators will finally have their number two Center and another consistent scorer on the wing. The NHL is an offensive league. It doesn’t make sense to continue to drive your offense through the defensemen. Forwards score more. It is a fact. Make these deals happen and score more.
