Predators Re-Sign Granlund
The Nashville Predators have re-signed forward Mikael Granlund to a one-year contract worth $3.75 million. The 28-year-old will be back for at least one more season in Nashville after spending parts of the past two cities with the Predators.Though Granlund was able to produce at a very high level as a member of the Minnesota Wild, including consecutive seasons with 21-plus goals and 67-plus points, he'd fail to create the same impact after being acquired by the Predators. After scoring 15 goals and 49 points in 63 games during the 2018-19 season in Minnesota, the Predators would acquire him in a deal for Kevin Fiala. At the time, this deal was certainly an interesting one as Fiala appeared to be a blossoming talent...G R A N N Y. https://t.co/q6WQGXlbJI

Previews and Predictions
Predators Are the New Central Division Favourites
The Nashville Predators were recently given 6/1 odds at winning the National Hockey League’s new Central Division, which the league formed for the 2020-21 season slated to begin on Jan. 13. With several new divisional opponents from the southeastern United States to take on multiple times, the Predators are the proverbial fish out of water, joining a division made up largely of teams previously belonging to the Eastern Conference. With that said, the 6/1 odds provided by BetOnline put Nashville fourth, behind the Dallas Stars, Carolina Hurricanes, and defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning. Featuring a roster largely similar to last season’s squad, which underwhelmed in the qualifying round of the playoffs, this divisional re-alignment could be a benefit to the...

Predators Can Take Advantage of Their Cap Space
They say you have to spend money to make money, and scared money doesn’t make money. If these sayings are true and translated to the sports world, it may suggest that you must spend money to achieve ultimate success. If you want to be a contender and finish the season a champion, you must open up the checkbook. If that wasn’t the case, the 2020 Tampa Bay Rays wouldn’t have received as much praise as they did for eliminating the New York Yankees and their $83.5 million payroll and going toe-to-toe with the Los Angeles Dodgers and their league-leading, near $96.6 million roster. The Rays doing all this despite spending the league’s third-lowest total of $29.4 million. It’s also the reason why there was a movie made about Billy Beane and the Oakland Athletics called...
