With the Nashville Predators coming into this season actively expected to require a rebuild, they were not expected to be any good. However, the Predators team has emerged as one of the better units in the Western Conference. Currently, in a playoff spot at the time of writing this, it explains why it’s so confusing to me that the Nashville organization is actively looking to sell off their best player.
Making $6 million against the cap this year, Filip Forsberg becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. It’s unlikely that he will be extended with the team he’s on, regardless of if that is Nashville or not.
