Podcast: Does Predators 8-Game Win Streak Change Anything?

Nashville Hockey Now’s Michael Gallagher talks Nashville Predators with Braden Gall of 440 Sports and Emma Lingan of the Hockey Writers on the Gold Standard podcast.

The Predators eight-game win streak was snapped on Tuesday by the Montreal Canadiens. Has the team’s recent hot streak changed our minds about their playoff odds or how they should approach the trade deadline?

How and should the Predators weaponize their abundance of cap space at the trade deadline? Should they be a third party to facilitate a deal? Should they add a piece to help them once they (likely) get to the postseason? Should the Predators consider dealing for Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel?

Are the fans tired of being stuck in the middle — not good enough to contend for a Cup but not bad enough to draft in the top five?

Tommy Novak signed a new contract. Barry Trotz said he couldn’t let him go for nothing, now Novak will be around for another three years. How big of a win was this for Trotz?

Which depth players on the Predators roster today won’t be there after the trade deadline?
