The whacky additions

Every year there’s always that one person who’s been watching Food Network (perhaps a little to much), and wants to bring something new to the table. That isn’t to say that whatever is brought to the table may not be good, but newness can be scary. It may be just what the meal was missing, but when you’ve come to know and expect what’s on the menu, something new may give you a bit of hesitation. Still, out of respect for the cook, you should at least give it a try. You don’t have to like it, but it deserves a chance.

The Predators new dishes are of course the free agent signings like Mark Borowiecki, Luke Kunin, and Brad Richardson. This season has brought MANY new faces to the Nashville Predators roster, and while these additions bring something different, they deserve their chance. We can’t be certain what they bring to the mix, but we have to hope it’s good. If the FA signings can bring some physicality, scoring, and help to the penalty kill, they could make the team (the meal) that much better. If they don’t pan out, well, you may not go back for seconds, and neither may the Predators.
