The additions of Ryan O'Reilly, Gustav Nyquist, and Luke Schenn may not be enough to get the Nashville Predators into the postseason as Barry Trotz begins a roster reset in 2023-24. On today's Locked On Predators, we take a look ahead and share three reasons why the Predators will not make the playoffs for a second season in a row. Nick and Ann take off their "hocktimist" hats and break down the cold, hard facts. Offensive production has been a struggle for Nashville. We'll tell you why that may get worse before it gets better and discuss the ONE Predators' player who will need to shoulder the load for the team. Trotz has touted Roman Josi, Juuse Saros, and Filip Forsberg as the core of this team moving forward. Can the team get prime performances from all three for the next few seasons? Finally, we talk about how the bigger picture in the NHL could work against the Predators this season. We take a realistic look ahead on today's Locked On Predators episode.
