The Nashville Predators may have been the biggest winners of the 2024 offseason, but they were easily one of the biggest losers of the 2024-25 regular season.
In a fall from grace that absolutely no one saw coming, Nashville went from being a playoff team to finishing as the third-worst team in the league with just 68 points and a minus-60 goal differential in 2024-25 – despite general manager Barry Trotz's offseason spending spree that aimed at bolstering the Predators' offense with the likes of Jonathan Marchessault and Steven Stamkos.
The Predators struggled last season, finishing 7th in the Central Division and 14th in the Western Conference, with a record of 30-44-8.
