Nashville Predators GM David Poile spoke candidly with 102.5 The Game’s Robby and Rexrode show yesterday about the decision to place Eeli Tolvanen on waivers and Tolvanen’s subsequent performance with his new team, the Seattle Kraken. We discuss what Poile revealed about Tolvanen’s time in Nashville, plus we preview tonight’s games against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
102.5 The Game’s Robby Stanley asked Predators’ GM David Poile about the loss of Eeli Tolvanen and how Poile feels about the decision to place the young 2017 first round draft pick on waivers in December. In a frank interview, Poile addressed the thinking behind the move and takes ownership for the future outcome of that decision. On today’s Locked On Predators, Nick and Ann look past the obvious headline from that conversation and dig into what we believe the real takeaways are from Poile’s revelations. We debate whether Tolvanen was given enough time to develop with the Predators and if the team will regret this move in the long run. We share why the outrage over Eeli Tolvanen may be a lightning rod for a wider frustration among the fan base. We also preview tonight’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. We share two keys to the game for the Predators and why this game could be telling as the Predators try to climb back into playoff contention.

What are your thoughts on David Poile's comments regarding Eeli Tolvanen yesterday?
Thank you both for bringing me preds news. I haven’t been able to watch a game this year. I haven’t been able to attend a game in 2 years, this podcast is my savior. I just hope this isn’t another Seth Jones trade. Though I loved watching Seth find success with the Bluejackets, it still stung.
Great show and thoughts! Fans and their opinions in any major pro sports will never know what the inner circle of professional major owners, General management and coaches know. Second guessing any moves made for the team or not is never a good idea, just my opinion…
matthews is out for this game. interesting
