Best Trade Deadline Acquisitions in Nashville Predators History
The 2024 NHL Trade Deadline is nearly here, and the Preds once again find themselves on the playoff bubble and unclear what direction they'll go.

All signs are pointing to the Nashville Predators not being buyers for 2024, and historically speaking this franchise has never done heavy shopping at the deadline.
Most can agree the Predators are not in a position to do any major addition at this year's trade deadline, despite having the third-most projected cap space in the NHL at roughly $7.9 million per CapFriendly.
The Predators also have more pressing issues right now with their current roster and whether to re-sign or trade them. They've recently given modest contract extension to Michael McCarron and Cole Smith, but Tommy Novak, Yakov Trenin and Alexandre Carrier remain pending UFAs without new deals yet.
With the current situation laid out for you two weeks out from the trade deadline, let's look back at the most impact additions via trade that the Predators have made leading up to past deadlines.
