With just one day before the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline, the Nashville Predators have already traded four players in the last five days as they continue one of the biggest sell-offs in franchise history.
Amid overwhelming calls from the fanbase, the Nashville Predators front office now led by new General Manager Barry Trotz and former General Manager, and still consulter, David Poile.
