The discussion tackles the growing frustration among championship-caliber veterans like Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, who were promised contention but face a painful rebuild instead. The hosts challenge narratives about locker room dysfunction, explaining why veteran frustration stems from running out of time for another Stanley Cup run rather than interpersonal drama.Key topics include evaluating GMs on five-year timelines, the Predators' organizational preference for continuity, and why firing Trotz wouldn't solve the roster problems he created.Discover why Nashville's path forward requires pain regardless of who's behind the bench, and what Trotz's self-awareness reveals about the franchise's future direction. 0:00 Intro1:11 Barry Trotz and Kyle Dubas GM conversation4:01 Trotz's difficult transition from coaching to GM6:05 Learning curve and human element of management10:24 Self-awareness and acknowledging the problems12:26 Trotz's comments on head coach Andrew Brunette18:15 Need for a different voice in locker20:16 Trotz coaching rumors and roster construction mismatch23:25 The painful path forward for Nashville26:50 Veterans' frustration and patience wearing thin31:25 Stamkos and Marchessault running out of time34:30 Understanding Andrew Brunette's demeanor and coaching style Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOPredators?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL Follow us on Social Media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonpredators/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LockedOnPredatorsTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/LO_PredatorsEmma's Twitter: https://twitter.com/emma_linganAnn's Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnnK_MamaOnIce Join our Locked On Predators Insider Program!https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonpredators #NashvillePredators #NHL #Preds Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! RugietReady to level up your confidence ?

Nashville Predators split their NHL Global Series in Stockholm with a 2-1 overtime win followed by a devastating 4-0 shutout loss to Pittsburgh. The stark contrast raises serious questions about Andrew Brunette's future behind the bench. Ann Kimmel and Emma Lingan break down the tale of two games through creative metaphors and hard statistics. The discussion examines Brunette's troubling "losing traction" comments, analyzes why last season's 18-game point streak was unsustainable lightning in a bottle, and explores the fundamental mismatch between coaching philosophy and roster construction. With nearly a week before facing Colorado, the hosts make a compelling case for why Barry Trotz should pull the trigger on a coaching change now, pointing to Luke Richardson as a ready-made interim solution. The conversation also addresses whether the Predators should punt on the season to focus on player development rather than continue this directionless trajectory. Discover why the perfect timing for organizational change might be slipping away and what needs to happen for Nashville to find any semblance of direction this season.  0:00 Intro2:39 One word to describe Global Series10:11 Game two reality check hits hard14:04 Coaching change seems inevitable now19:10 The 18 game point streak myth23:35 When will Barry Trotz act27:14 Trotz doesn't want to fire Brunette31:35 Watching bad hockey without trajectory Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOPredators?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL Follow us on Social Media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonpredators/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LockedOnPredatorsTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/LO_PredatorsEmma's Twitter: https://twitter.com/emma_linganAnn's Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnnK_MamaOnIce Join our Locked On Predators Insider Program!https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonpredators #NashvillePredators #NHL #Preds Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! RugietReady to level up your confidence ?

The Nashville Predators sit at rock bottom with a 5-9-4 record, and the question isn't whether changes are needed—it's how drastic they should be. With no-move clauses complicating every decision and Barry Trotz's offseason signings underperforming, is a full rebuild the only path forward?Ann Kimmel and Emma Lingan break down the Predators' roster crisis, evaluating which pending UFAs like Cole Smith and Michael McCarron could bring trade deadline returns versus who should stay. They tackle the Steven Stamkos contract dilemma, analyze why firing Andrew Brunette might only treat symptoms rather than cure the disease, and debate whether the team's promising prospects—Matthew Wood, Tanner Molendyk, and others—can salvage Barry Trotz's legacy.

Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros to the Edmonton Oilers? The NHL rumor mill is churning, but the reality of this blockbuster trade is far more complicated than the speculation suggests. Ann Kimmel and Emma Lingan break down why this trade talk exists, examining Edmonton's goaltending struggles with Stuart Skinner and their Stanley Cup window with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. The hosts analyze the massive obstacles standing in the way: Saros's no-move clause, Edmonton's salary cap constraints, and their depleted prospect pool that already surrendered Reed Schaefer in the Matias Ekholm deal. They also revisit the controversial Yaroslav Askarov trade and make a compelling case for why Barry Trotz should keep Saros even during a rebuild, highlighting prospect Jack Ivankovic's timeline and Nashville's successful goalie transition model from Pekka Rinne. Discover why the Predators' franchise goaltender isn't going anywhere and what it means for Nashville's rebuild strategy.  0:00 Intro2:20 Speculation vs. Reporting: The Saros Rumor4:03 Edmonton's Goalie Problem and Stuart Skinner8:09 Nashville's Rebuild and Saros' Contract Situation12:42 The No-Move Clause: Saros' Control16:28 Edmonton's Salary Cap Constraints19:47 What Does Edmonton Have to Trade?23:48 Why Nashville Should Keep Saros28:54 The Askarov Draft Pick Mistake31:14 Jack Ivankovic: The Future in Net  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOPredators?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL Follow us on Social Media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonpredators/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LockedOnPredatorsTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/LO_PredatorsEmma's Twitter: https://twitter.com/emma_linganAnn's Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnnK_MamaOnIce Join our Locked On Predators Insider Program!https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonpredators #NashvillePredators #NHL #Preds Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! RugietReady to level up your confidence ?
