The Nashville Predators are almost a completely different team now than they were during the 2018-19 season. There have been two coaching changes, a new General Manager, and several new faces on the ice for the team that calls Smashville home.

In fact, many of these changes have occurred just in the last six-plus months dating back to the March NHL trade deadline. Many fan-favorites, including Mattias Ekholm and Tanner Jeannot were traded away for draft picks and one player, Tyson Barrie, who is currently a starter.

I’m going to dissect the last three full NHL seasons that the Predators have had and do a little comparison on their statistics over that time. Now, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be a gap as the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons were affected by the outbreak.

For the purposes of this comparison, we will focus on the 2018-19, 2021-22, and 2022-23 seasons. Let’s get right to it.
