David Poile updated Martin Erat and David Legwand for Filip Forsberg and Calle Jarnkrok, then swapped Hornqvist for James Neal. And while Seth Jones for Ryan Johansen may not have paid off in the looks department just yet, trading Shea Weber for P.K. Subban displays David Poile's strategy: acquiring all the handsome men he can. This is helping raise the property value of the area around the arena and therefore making the club more valuable. It's an exciting time for Nashville and the surrounding area.
What a difference a year makes.
Last year, the Preds went into the year with a loaded but young defense and some good scoring wingers.
