At this low point in the Nashville Predators‘ season, which is only 13 games in, it looks like things are going to happen even if they’re unplanned.

For most of the offseason we heard these ongoing rumblings of a “youth movement” as the Predators lost veterans like Nick Bonino, Kyle Turris, Austin Watson, Craig Smith and Yannick Weber.

The youth movement looked highly probable until Nashville Predators GM David Poile made several low-key additions to the roster, which in turn created a logjam for younger prospects to get into the regular starting lineup.
