It is a new look Nashville Predators roster in 2023-24, and on today’s Locked On Predators we make our picks for next season’s breakout candidates. Juuso Pärssinen’s performance in his 45 games in gold gave fans plenty of reasons to believe he could be a big piece for the Preds, and Ann will explain why line mates, time on ice, and where he lands in the lineup won’t diminish his importance to the team. An experienced blue liner is Nick’s pick for breakout candidate. We take a look back at Alexandre Carrier’s career and share why he could take another giant step forward for the team next season. Finally, we discuss a recent ranking of the most impactful offseason moves in the NHL. We debate how much Alex DeBrincat can move the needle for the Detroit Red Wings, how Matt Duchene and Ryan Johansen will impact their new teams, and how much we think Ryan O’Reilly will change the Predators’ fortune in 23-24.

Great episode!
Last season, Juuso Parssinen "came in as one of the best, like, two-way players that the Preds had on their roster which may be a red flag about the way the roster was built last year". EXACTLY!!!
Overall this year's roster is worse and, if you take a really good look at the prospect pool, it doesn't seem like it's going to be any better in the foreseeable future either.
I’ve read articles that mention ROR as a 2nd line guy and that surprises me cause I personally think he needs to be on that top line with Forsberg…I know there are people that think he has declined but last year in 53 games he still ended up with 16 goals 14 ast which isn’t what we are used to seeing from ROR but still not a horrible year but with his experience in the league and as great of a passer as he is I think he and Forsberg together on the top line would be amazing! And another big attribute in his game is his ability to win face offs which we all know when on the PP winning face offs is huge!
I love adding schenn! He is a true team player and battles every second for his team
