Misreading the Marketplace: Nashville's Confusing Spending Spree

Misreading the Marketplace: Nashville's Confusing Spending Spree

August 1st, 2013 Fourteen years for four guys.  That was the price of doing business for the Nashville Predators when free agency opened on July 5.  Actually, it was fourteen years and $36.4 million.  The issue?  The typically thrifty Predators poured big money into players who may only give them small returns. Did a lack of patience and a...

From Suter To Lecavalier: How Seth Jones Ended Up In Nashville

July 1st, 2013 The worn-out cliche says timing is everything, and perhaps it rings true today in Nashville.  Somehow, the Nashville Predators emerged from the 2013 draft with defenseman Seth Jones, the No. 1 ranked player available in this year's draft, according to the Central Scouting Service.

Will T.J. Brennan Trade Cause Defensive Domino Effect?

June 17th, 2013 The Nashville Predators made two transactions this week that could shape the club's defense moving forward.  The headline move was signing the fast-rising Roman Josi to a seven-year deal worth $28 million.  Josi, 23, has top pairing potential so locking him into a cost-effective contract is seen as a significant move for the...

Four Reasons For Optimism In Music City

April 16th, 2013 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 - and the Predators have plenty of injuries...
What’s Wrong With Filip Forsberg?

What’s Wrong With Filip Forsberg?

April 8th, 2013 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 draft rolled around last June...
Nashville Should Choose Victor Bartley Over Jon Blum

Nashville Should Choose Victor Bartley Over Jon Blum

April 1st, 2013 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.
