There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding just how the Nashville Predators will approach this offseason as General Manager Barry Trotz transitions into the role from the franchise’s only other front office leader, David Poile.
The Predators have gradually shifted into a much younger roster since the 2023 trade deadline that saw Mattias Ekholm, Nino Niederreiter, Mikael Granlund and Tanner Jeannot dealt away.
Additional injuries to more veterans forced youth and inexperience into the mix, and it was a valiant effort to only come up three points shy of the Winnipeg Jets for wildcard spot.
