Adam Vingan of The Athletic: As the dust settles from the Roman Josi extension, one thing becomes clear. David Poile does not have too many tough decisions to make in the next couple of years.
The Nashville Predators’ window expands a bit more compared to other teams with most of their players on team-friendly deals. That time will pass but in the next season or so, the toughest decisions lie with Mikael Granlund and Craig Smith. That is not too bad.
Poile has the luxury of being able to tweak lightly and not have to go for the big splashes in free agency or during the trade deadline.
