General Manager David Poile came to the Nashville Predators twenty years ago. To say the team experienced success would be an understatement. In that time, they made 10 playoff appearances, including a trip to the Stanley Cup, and made hockey relevant in the southern United States. Fandom in Nashville is booming.
But, the team must be careful. With the success of the 2016-17 season comes expectations for 2017-18. Expectations to make a stronger push for the playoffs. Talk is already starting to focus on if the Predators can contend to win the division. Fans are excited, ready to show up and cheer like only they can do.
