Nashville Predators

Scored some free tickets from a friend. First time back in the building in more than a year. Even if it is 'just' preseason. Good to be back.

What's the word on Preds TV packages? did Bally die yet? can't find any updates since the bankruptcy filing in the spring

I'd love a better option than the $20+ /mo direct subscription, and I don't want to sail the seven seas.

Good to see Boro brought back as staff.

Well, how do you all feel about the signings today?

Ryan O'Reilly (4 yrs / 4.5m AAV)

What do we think Avaholics? This looks like a solid move to me to address 2C position for a couple years. Perhaps hoping Newhook can continue to progress and grow.

Ekholm stepped into the 2022-23 season as a 32-year-old veteran defenseman, determined to prove that his body was capable of holding up while playing a rigorous style. His offensive game may be trending downwards as the years go on, but one consistency is his ability to be a physical presence in front of the net and corners. Ekholm continued to be one of the better players for Nashville, doing all the little things right and ensuring that the younger crop could learn from them.
