It is a super exciting time to be a Nashville Predators fan right now, as they have gotten the attention of the league after splurging in free agency. They are undoubtedly a better team on paper than they were at the end of the 2023-24 season, and that is especially the case on offense.
For as much talent as they lacked on offense last year, their top line was not the issue, and was one of the most consistent in the entire league. Their second line was a huge part of what held them back, though, and Barry Trotz addressed it by bringing in Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault.
Despite the improvements, it is still unclear how exactly Andrew Brunette will assemble the lines, and the final spot in the top six is a huge mystery. How the entirety of the bottom six will look is also anyone's guess, and with us being in the quiet period of the offseason, now is a good time to play around with lineup projections.
