2024 OFFSEASON PREVIEW NASHVILLE PREDATORS

The Nashville Predators were another team that had a surprising campaign in the 2023-24 season under rookie head coach, Andrew Brunette and managed to make the playoffs before losing in 7 to the Vancouver Canucks. The upcoming offseason is a massive one for the franchise as they have a huge decision to make regarding Juuse Saros, and whether or not they want to give him a long-term extension or not; if they choose to not offer him an extension, he could be traded for a massive haul, allowing 22-year-old Russian Goalie, Yaroslav Askarov to take over the reins in net. 

The Nashville Predators have 10 picks in the 2024 NHL Draft.

2024 NHL Draft

22-Andrew Basha (LW/RW)

53-Matvei Shuravin (D)

55-Alexander Zetterberg (C)

59-Carson Wetsch (RW)

87-Joona Saarelainen (C)

94-Jack Berglund (LW)

99-Mikhail Yegorov (G)

119-Ben Danford (D)

214-Karl Sterner (RW)

The Nashville Predators drafted a collection of solid prospects to improve their prospect pool, including Andrew Basha in the 1st round, and three solid players in Matvei Shuravin, Alexander Zetterberg and Carson Wetsch in the 2nd round.


After the 2024 NHL Draft, Several trades are made

Nashville Predators trade Juuse Saros to the Carolina Hurricanes for Fredrik Andersen, rights to Martin Necas, Aleksi Heimosalmi, 1st round pick '25, 1st round pick '27.

This is an excellent return for Juuse Saros, they get a starter-caliber goalie in Fredrik Andersen to tandem with Yaroslav Askarov, the rights to Martin Necas, which they can turn into more assets, Aleksi Heimosalmi, a top defensive prospect on Carolina and two first-round picks. For Carolina, this is a no brainer considering they get a star goalie and put an end to their goalie controversy in the playoffs.

The Predators trade Martin Necas to the Seattle Kraken for Yanni Gourde, David Goyette, Jani Nyman, and a Conditional 2nd round pick '25. If Martin Necas scores 30 goals in the 2024-25 campaign, the 2nd round pick becomes a 1st round pick.

The Nashville Predators trade Martin Necas, a player who they got in the Juuse Saros trade, and turn it into a package that includes Yanni Gourde, David Goyotte, Jani Nyman, and a potential 1st round pick, if Necas scores 30 goals in 2024-25. 

Gustav Nyquist, Cody Class is traded to the Ottawa Senators for Erik Brannstrom, 2nd round pick '25.

The Nashville Predators get a young offensive defenseman in Erik Brannstrom for Cody Glass, and they also pick up a 2nd round pick for Gustav Nyquist, which is solid return for a 34 year old winger.


Nashville Predators re-sign the following Free Agents:

Alexandre Carrier (D)-4yrs/3M per

Erik Brannstrom (D)-2yrs/2.5M per

Kieffer Sherwood (RW)-2yrs/1.1M per


The Nashville Predators have 15.98 million in cap space to sign Free Agents.


Free Agents signed:

Teuvo Teravainen-4yrs/5.5M per

Ilya Lyubushkin-2yrs/2.75M per


2024-25 Nashville Predators

F.Forsberg-R.O'Reilly-T.Teravainen

M.Jankowski-T.Novak-L.Evangelista

C.Smith-Y.Gourde-C.Sissons

J.Parssinen-M.McCarron-K.Sherwood

R.Josi-D.Fabbro

J.Lauzon-A.Carrier

E.Brannstrom-L.Schenn

Y.Askarov

F.Andersen

Spares: I.Lyubushkin, R.Pitlick, K.Yamamoto


The Nashville Predators are a solid team heading in the 2024-25 season and depending on if the Predators are in the playoff race or not, they have assets like Yanni Gourde who can be moved for more assets.

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

Here are some players you should pickup in Fantasy Hockey, sorted by position. Center Colton Sissons Colton Sissons is one of the best 4th line centers in the league, but in fantasy hockey, he could be even more valuable than he actually is in real life because of what he provides in the peripheral categories. So far this season Sissions has 5 goals, 1 PPP, 1 SHP, 12 PIM, 20 SOG, 89 FW, 15 hits, and 9 blocks. This is a terrific stat line and although you can't count on Sissons scoring a ton, he will fill out the FW, Hits, and blocks usually. Sissons is owned in 6% of fantasy leagues, snag him up while you can. Nick Bjugstad Nick Bjugstad is having an excellent year so far with the Arizona Coyotes, in fact he has played so well that he earned himself a promotion to play on the 2nd line along with Mattias Maccelli and Lawson Crouse. Bjugstad also gets time on Arizona's 2nd PP unit and 2nd PK unit. Bjugstad may not be a name who stands out to casuals, but his fantasy stat line is

Fantasy Hockey Forwards to Trade For

Here is a list of Players who you should consider trading for in Fantasy Hockey. Tage Thompson Tage Thompson had very high expectations of him heading into this season but has been a massive disappointment to this point in the season with only 7 goals, 8 assists, 4 PPP, 60 SOG, and 99 FW. Thompson has been better after coming back from injury and you would think that he is going to eventually start putting points in bunches. Because of how bad Thompson's statline is this season. it would be a good idea to trade for him because you may not have to give up a lot in return.  Elias Lindholm Elias Lindholm is another player who has had a slow start to the season with only 7 goals, 10 assists, 3 PPP, 68 SOG, and 297 FW so far this season. Lindholm is definitely going to want to play better if he wants to increase his value for his next contract and also showcase himself for a trade at the deadline. If Lindholm gets dealt to a contending team, his fantasy value would drastically improve b
