We've looked back at what went right and what went wrong last season and analyzed the offseason moves (or lack thereof) for the Predators, so today we are ready look ahead. On this episode of Locked On Predators Nick and Ann play hockey "yin and yang" by sharing three reasons to expect the Preds to be better this season AND three reasons fans might want to set expectations low for a team that could very well be worse. We discuss the big offseason move that improves one of last season's weakest links and the lack of action that could actually make the defense better in 22-23. Did David Poile do enough to address an underperforming second line this offseason? We will tell you why there might be reason to hope. Of course, there is a chance the Predators may struggle to improve next season, and Nick and Ann tell you the three potential land mines that could blow up the chances for a deep playoff run in Smashville. The Preds may not be the only ones who struggle next season - what did Ann reveal that caused Nick to briefly walk out of this episode? Always the "hocktimists", we wrap up today's discussion with the one not-so-secret weapon on the Predators roster who may just carry this team past the first round of the post season.
