It’s NHL trade season once again, and it’s personally one of my favorite times of the hockey calendar, and fittingly enough the Nashville Predators could possibly end up making a splash or two.

With the highly-anticipated trade deadline just six days away, it’s still very unknown exactly what the Predators will decide to do. Adding a defenseman to bolster the depth wouldn’t be a bad idea, but many also think that keeping the core of the roster together is the best approach.

Either way, it’s never a perfect science when making trades. Many times you don’t find out until several years after if the trade worked or not.

With that said, let’s go down memory lane and take a look at the biggest and most successful midseason trades in Nashville Predators history. There haven’t been a plenthora of them, but there have been a few really good ones in hindsight.
