Is Sherwood a Sure Thing: Which Nashville Predators Will Be Back Next Season on New Contracts?

It's General Manager Week on Locked On Predators and on today's episode we sift through the handful of unrestricted free agents that Nashville Predators' GM Barry Trotz must decide on. Kiefer Sherwood played an important role on the identity line for the Preds but didn't receive a contract during the season. We talk about Sherwood's ability to adapt, how his game has grown over the years, and what role he could potentially play going forward for Nashville. Trotz brought in two players at the trade deadline on expiring contracts. We breakdown what we saw from both Anthony Beauvillier and Jason Zucker and debate whether either player is a long term piece for the Predators moving forward. Finally we discuss two blue liners who may end up on different rosters next season and wrestle with what Nashville may have learned during their series with the Vancouver Canucks to move the defense in a different direction.

Tickled to see LOP go over 1000 subscribers.

[@mikeneely7825]

Watched my first Admirals game the other day. 5-1 Win over Texas. I'm a huge Askarov fan! Hoping to see him in net on Wednesday!

[@nickchristoforou7850]

So, how many of Afanasyev, L'Heureux, Parssinen and Tomasino can be expected to make the team this Fall? Cody Glass is also around, as he's still under contract and can't be sent to Milwaukee. If Beuvillier is gone, that opens up a spot for Glass, so two of the other four won't make it, even as extras. Kemell and Svechkov are also progressing nicely, but are at least another year away.

LOP got 1000 subs so deserved 💙💛

Is Sherwood a sure thing? That Sherwood be good!

[@shashkatoothtiger]

Meh, whatever, just let 'em all go! And trade everybody else too. If we're ACTUALLY going to build our top-nine we're going to need SOMETHING to build it out of!
But Zucker and Sherwood are playoffs players??? Is that a joke? NO! Johansen, Duchene, Wilson, Trenin, THOSE are playoffs players!!! But of course we get rid of them because our management doesn't WANT to win IN the playoffs, just make it to them every year!

[@tangofett4065]

Dude, I like those dudes, but Trenin underperforms and Johansen might not even make it in the NHL anymore.

Sweet. That bombshell blonde is back.
