Expectations for the Nashville Predators have risen with the additions of Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei, but on today’s Locked On Predators we share our 2024-2025 season hot takes that may not be on everyone’s radar. Veteran Gustav Nyquist had a career year last season, and we’ll explain why it is likely he could repeat stats nearly as impressive. There is one younger player who we believe will garner plenty of attention across the league and earn himself quality minutes in the top six. We’ll lay out our takes for why Juuse Saros will be in the Vezina conversation and why he and tandem partner Scott Wedgewood will be the best net minding duo in the Western Conference next season.

Why only in Western Conference? I think that Juuse Saros – Scott Wedgewood could be the best goaltending duo overall. In my opinion Saros didn´t even play terrible games last season, but he had something like 6-8 periods where he allowed 3-4 goals on 8-10 shots. He might´ve had even some period where he allowed something like 3 goals on 5 shots. I´m not entirely sure, but my point is that he had games where his saving percentage could be 50-60% and he let in some goals that he weren´t happy with, but most of those goals came from unlucky bounces and deflections. Saros is quite a short goalie and in some situations he lost the track of the puck because of his size. That isn´t obviously going to change, but I think that a lot of it goes down to better defending and communication. Saros also probably needs to be better in reading the game in some specific situations. I don´t know the details, but I´m completely sure that Saros and the team in front of him will solve this problem.
Thanks girls really like your views, I’ve been a preds fan from the beginning and have seen lots of pundits but appreciate y’all.
Hot take: with the addition of Stamkos and Marchesaault, Forsberg will be left open and set up for more shots… he’ll break 50 goals this year.
Not hot take: Coach Bruno wins the Jack Adams award this year!
I'm in the Knoxville viewing area to watch the Predators on TV. Have done this over the years with Bally Sports. Since they have gone chapter 11 TV viewing for many of us is in question for the upcoming season. Can you please keep us informed on any news about the television availability as soon as you get any information on this. Thank you
The idea of having 91 be the 2C is great, but where does that put 82? Where does that leave 8? I think having 14 on the 3rd line with 10 and 8 would be great to spread out this new forward depth.
Cant wait to move to Tennessee ladies love the show 💛💙. My hot take is Peter frosberg will be left out with the additions of stamkos and Johnathan m
