This past offseason saw the Nashville Predators lose a lot of players. Some were way easier to see let go than others.
Seeing the new-look Nashivlle Predators skate onto the ice for the season-opener offered hope for a fresh start, but also some weird feelings of uncertainty.

The more this season rolls along the more we’ll see if Poile made the right decisions with the players he added to the roster, mostly to address the defensive issues, or if he swung and missed.
Poile has been somewhat under the hot seat in recent time. He really needs this past offseason to bear positive results and get the Predators back into being a viable playoff team.
