Description

The Predators have a ton of young talent, but I think it would be beneficial to bring in/back some veteran talent that has been there and can teach the young guys. You cant go out and replace James Neal, but you can find a few bodies that will help grow your team. I think that Nashville just didn't have the depth last season to finish off the Cup run. This Season they should focus on that depth. This is 3 very good lines and a fourth line that could shut down most teams 2nd-3rd lines easily. They already have good goaltending and a great core 4 on defense. Time to beef up the offense. The deals signed with UFAs should allow Nashville to open up the money in two years when contracts of RFAs and Ellis come due for new deals.
