With a 6-3-1 record to open the 2019-20 season, the Nashville Predators seemed to be primed for another playoff appearance and a run at another division title. It would be their sixth-straight playoff appearance and third-straight division title if they can pull of those feats.
But we know going to the playoffs and finishing first in the division isn’t the ultimate goal nor do they meet the expectations most of us have for this team. We expect more from this talent-rich roster. They can’t waste all of this talent with early playoff exits like they have the last two seasons.
