Two years ago at this time, the Nashville Predators were the talk of the NHL signing a trio of high-profile free agents and assuming the expectations that came with it. In short, 2024-25 was a train wreck from opening night.Last season didn't start much better before a late push got the Predators into a spot in late March before falling short at the finish.After an aggressive off-season by new team President/GM Chris MacFarland improved team depth considerably, the expectations have returned.Head coach Andrew Brunette joins Neil and Vic to discuss a pivotal season coming up in Music City.There's also some league news to catch up on as a former villain in Montreal signs with the Canadiens and the effect that has on the Anaheim Ducks.IN THIS EPISODE[01:18] - Predators head coach Andrew Brunette is welcomed to the show with a quick look back to the Game 7 overtime goal he scored for Minnesota in Colorado in 2003, a goal which was the last surrendered by Patrick Roy in his brilliant NHL career.[02:53] - A seventh-round pick in both junior hockey and in the NHL, Brunette comments on a career spanning over 1100 games with a half dozen organizations including Nashville and twice with Minnesota.[06:25] - The aspiration to be a head coach amidst having assumed several front office roles with Minnesota upon retirement as a player in 2013.[11:02] - After taking over Florida for Joel Quenneville early in the 2021-22 season, Brunette leads the Panthers to the Presidents' Trophy and is a coach of the year finalist, yet is replaced. As opposed to accepting a front office position with Florida, he opts to join New Jersey as an associate coach in order to remain behind the bench.[13:16] - The call from Nashville to be the head coach and what could have been in the Predators opening round series with Vancouver in 2024.[15:53] - The summer of 2024. Three high-profile free agent signings came with equally high expectations for the Predators. Brunette candidly speaks about the difficulty of that season from its very outset.[19:20] - 2025-26 started much like the season before.

Summer Coolers – Nashville PredatorsThe Nashville Predators may finally be positioned to make the run many expected two years ago. After finishing sixth in the Central with 86 points, Nashville enters 2026-27 with Chris MacFarland reshaping the roster through one of the NHL's more aggressive offseasons. Ross Colton, Jack Drury, Maverick Bourque, Ilya Lyubushkin and several other additions give the Predators considerably more depth. But Neil Smith and Vic Morren see another major storyline developing: Andrew Brunette may now have to prove to his new GM that he deserves to remain Nashville's head coach.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] Nashville finishes sixth in the Central, 10th in the Western Conference and 23rd overall with 86 points.[00:00:20] Neil and Vic revisit the enormous expectations surrounding Nashville two years earlier after the Predators signed Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault and Brady Skjei.[00:00:45] Those headline additions never produced the results many expected, but Neil believes this offseason feels different.[00:01:00] New GM Chris MacFarland adds what Neil calls “real meat to the bone,” strengthening the existing roster rather than attempting to completely rebuild it.[00:01:20] MacFarland immediately targets players he knows well, including Ross Colton and Jack Drury from his previous organization in Colorado.[00:01:35] The pressure now shifts toward Andrew Brunette. Neil believes the coach must demonstrate to MacFarland that he deserves to remain behind the Nashville bench.[00:01:55] Nashville improved by 18 points last season and briefly pushed into playoff position before fading down the stretch.[00:02:00] MacFarland raids his former organization, adding Colton, Drury and defenseman Jack Ahcan from Colorado.[00:02:20] Nashville acquires Adam Edstrom from the Rangers for a 2026 fifth-round pick and Nils Höglander from Vancouver for a 2029 third-round selection.[00:02:35] Maverick Bourque and Ilya Lyubushkin also arrive from Dallas, further strengthening a roster clearly being constructed to win now.[00:02:50] Bourque signs a six-year contract worth $5.5 million per season, giving Nashville another important long-term piece.[00:03:00] Alex Kerfoot arrives as a free agent from Utah, while Hunter Skinner joins from St. Louis.[00:03:15] Neil agrees that Nashville is significantly improved, but the Central Division presents a major obstacle.[00:03:30] Utah has improved as well, while Minnesota, Dallas and Colorado remain formidable. The Predators must determine which established playoff team they can actually surpass.[00:03:50] St. Louis could potentially be vulnerable, but Neil still sees Nashville facing a difficult path into the postseason.[00:04:00] Vic believes as many as five Central Division teams could qualify for the playoffs because the division appears considerably deeper than the Pacific.[00:04:25] Neil agrees that the Central possesses a greater quantity of strong teams, increasing the importance of every divisional matchup.[00:04:45] One notable departure is Erik Haula, who signs with the Los Angeles Kings.[00:05:00] Nashville's prospect group includes Brady Martin, the fifth overall selection in 2025, who appeared in three NHL games last season.[00:05:15] Forwards Ryker Lee and Egor Surin provide additional young talent as Nashville attempts to balance its veteran roster with future contributors.[00:05:30] Most of the Predators' important personnel is now locked up contractually, giving MacFarland stability as he attempts to build a contender.[00:05:45] Ryan O'Reilly is the most significant player approaching unrestricted free agency after the season.[00:06:00] Neil believes O'Reilly is reaching the stage of his career where he can decide whether to finish in Nashville or pursue one final opportunity elsewhere.Nashville looks substantially stronger than it did a year ago. MacFarland has aggressively added depth and talent without tearing apart the existing core. The question is whether Brunette can turn those moves into results—and whether the Predators can survive a loaded Central Division and finally become the contender everyone expected them to be two years ago.

Bobby and Pinder preview the Central Division heading into the 2026-27 NHL season and go team-by-team through what could once again be one of the toughest divisions in hockey. The guys break down projected lines, offseason additions and subtractions, betting odds and the biggest questions facing the Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Utah Mammoth, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators, Winnipeg Jets and Chicago Blackhawks. Colorado, Dallas and Minnesota still look like heavyweights at the top, but there are plenty of interesting storylines behind them — from Utah trying to take another step, Connor Hellebuyck's uncertain future in Winnipeg, to Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks finally trying to climb out of the basement. Who wins the Central, which teams make the playoffs, who takes the biggest step forward and which team could completely fall apart this season?Video Link: https://youtu.be/XP3E41Encqw#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8
