The Nashville Predators Must Gel Quickly

This season will be the first since the 2018-19 season that will feature a full 82-game schedule. And while there have been many challenging situations that Nashville has overcome since then, it is paramount that this young Predators team learn from each other, gel as a team, and settle in for a long season.

Goals will be at a premium next season, and the Predators will likely have to win games in an “ugly” fashion if they have any playoff hopes. They will have little room for error and cannot take a long time to find their stride.

There are some new faces on the team and some Predators who, while familiar to all of us, have yet to play a full season on an NHL roster. As a result, these players must learn the system quickly in training camp and prepare themselves for the rigors of the season ahead.

The coaching staff and fans alike have high expectations for players like Tanner Jeannot and Eeli Tolvanen. Now is their time to shine as they face the adversity that a team rebuild brings.
