The Colorado Avalanche won the draft lottery on Monday night leaving the Nashville Predators with the No. 4 overall pick in June’s draft. It’s the first time since 1998 – when Nashville selected David Legwand, No. 2 overall, as the first draft selection in franchise history - that the Predators have selected in the top-five of ...
With only 4 games remaining in the season, the Predators will be in a position that they have not found themselves in since the 2008-2009. The Predators have officially been eliminated from this season’s playoffs and instead of competing for a chance at the Stanley Cup, they will spend the rest of the season hoping ...
It’s a sad, slow ballad in the hockey circles of Music City right now. The Nashville Predators have lost six games in a row, the team is alone at the bottom of the Central Division, and it currently sits just four points out of last place in the Western Conference. To add insult to injury ...
As if the Predators haven’t received enough blows this season, sitting in 13th place in the Western Conference currently riding a 5-game losing streak, the team released news this past week that Gabriel Bourque, Colin Wilson, and Paul Gaustad have had season ending surgeries and will not return this season. Its no surprise that by ...
Filip Forsberg expected to hear his name called much earlier in the day. According to the Central Scouting Service, the 17-year-old Swede was ranked as the No. 1 European skater in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. He was projected to go as high as No. 2 overall to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Instead, when the ...
As the clock approached 3:00pm on April 3rd, 2013 the Washington Capitals and the Nashville Predators seemed to have put the entire hockey world on hold, while they attempted to finalize a deal that saw Martin Erat and Michael Latta traded to the Capitals in exchange for Filip Forsberg, the 11th overall pick in the ...
Nashville Predators defenseman Victor Bartley is 25-years-old, went undrafted multiple times, and has a grand total of two points in his first 12 NHL games … but I believe the Predators should consider keeping him and trading former first round pick Jonathon Blum. Here’s why.
Sitting two points out of the eighth seed in the West, the Nashville Predators are currently in eleventh place looking up, with only 14 games left in the season. Although anything can happen in the playoffs, if the Predators were to secure the seventh or eighth seed, they would most likely face the powerhouse Chicago Blackhawks or the streaky Anaheim Ducks. That leaves Predators GM David Poile with the question of whether to buy and try to make a run, similar to the past few years when he’s added players like Hal Gill, Paul Gaustad, Andrei Kostitsyn, and Mike Fisher, or sell and restock for future clubs.
This is one that just hurts beyond belief when one watches but what I saw Sergei Kostitsyn commit tonight gets you benched for a long time. Those who are Nashville fans have probably seen the video a hundred times already or it feels like it. However, it is not the only angle in this little story. We ...
Earlier today, the Predators claimed winger Zach Boychuk off waivers from the Pittsburgh Penguins. It’s not often that many positive things can be said about a player that has been waived twice in the same year by two teams, the Carolina Hurricanes and the Pittsburgh Penguins, but Zach Boychuk has the potential to surprise not ...
