There’s no official word on when the next NHL season will start. For the new-look Nashville Predators, they’ll need time to build team chemistry.
All indications are that next season won’t start until at least when the calendar flips over to 2021. In fact, a January 1st start date seems most likely, meaning that playing a full 82-game slate looks bleak.
For a young team like the Nashville Predators, who will be moving youth and inexperience into the lineup, there’s not going to be lot of time to build that chemistry.
