It’s hard to get too overhyped about this year’s NHL free agency market, but there’s still the high possibility that the Nashville Predators look to add some pieces via trades instead of adding player through free agency.
According to a report from Michael Gallagher of Nashville Hockey Now, soon-to-be official General Manager Barry Trotz is looking heavily on the trade market to get more skilled on offense.
It’s been made very clear that Trotz’s main area of focus is this team showing a faster pace of offensive play moving forward, which is why ultimately the switch from John Hynes to Andrew Brunette as head coach had to happen.
