The Nashville Predators held their postseason presser yesterday and fans heard from GM David Poile, incoming GM Barry Trotz, and head coach John Hynes. Today we tackle three "controversial" soundbites from that meeting. We discuss how Barry Trotz's vision for the future of this team is encouraging and what Trotz said - and DIDN'T say - about the future of head coach John Hynes. David Poile's comments about the youth movement caused quite a stir online, and we'll tell you why fans may be making too much of his comments. Plus, YOUR hot takes! We talk Kyle Connor, free agency moves, and Ryan Johansen's future. On today's Locked On Predators we hear from Trotz, Poile, and Hynes as they each face a different looking offseason. Barry Trotz details his goals for this offseason, and Nick and Ann share why his comment should be encouraging to fans in Smashville. The one thing the incoming GM did NOT address clearly was the future of head coach John Hynes. We discuss what we take away from yesterday's conversations and what factors Trotz may be weighing when it comes to deciding on the head coach for 2023-2024. Finally, we share our listeners' hot takes and rate their spice level. We like the idea of a Kyle Connor trade, but is the asking price a bit too "ghost pepper" for our taste? Is a big move in free agency a spicy take or do we see Trotz going all in on a big fish? And which Nashville Predator player generated the most hot takes?

Mattman had a nice trip over the weekend

P.K. Subban returned to Smashville for a special homecoming celebration with the Nashville Predators. Before the game, P.K. spoke with the media about a number of different topics, including the now-famous Shea Weber trade that brought him from the Montreal Canadiens to Nashville. He also shares details on the group chat he still shares with Preds past and present, and why he calls his three seasons in Nashville some of the best of his career. As for the game itself, the Preds fell to the Arizona Coyotes 4-2, the Yotes' first road win in three months.
