Even though the Nashville Predators have been aggressive in free agency, they haven’t done much to change the outlook on next season.
After a disappointing exit out of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers back in August, it became clear that the Nashville Predators are heading into a time of drastic changes that we haven’t seen from this franchise in a while.
Everyone was wondering how far Predators GM David Poile would go once the offseason to-do list officially got started. The Tampa Bay Lightning got crowned the Stanley Cup champs, and it was abundantly clear that the Predators wouldn’t be able to hang with them or the Dallas Stars in a seven-game series.
