It’s Wednesday again, which means we at OTF laser focus our hockey frustrations down into “one thing” we want to see happen within the organization and roster. This week’s One Thing is dedicated to General Manager David Poile.
David Poile took the helm as the General Manager of the then expansion Nashville Predators in 1997 and currently remains the only GM for the franchise. Under his leadership, the Predators slowly but steadily emerged as a competitive team in the NHL, culminating in the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals appearance. That same year, GM DP won the General Manager of the Year Award given by the NHL.
