With momentum seemingly building towards hockey returning in mid-January, a flurry of NHL player movement is likely forthcoming. A handful of teams mired in cap hell will need to unload significant contracts, while a plethora of high-profile free agents remain on the market.
Right in the middle of the chaos, seemingly, is the Nashville Predators. The team’s name has popped up as a “possible landing spot” for many high-profile names reportedly available. Those include both trade targets, like Jonathan Marchessault and Alex Killorn, and free agents, like Mike Hoffman and (former Pred) Mikael Granlund.
It’s important to remember we have to take any offseason rumors with a grain of salt.
