Short term
- Determine team identity and run with it. Run and gun? Neutral zone trap? Crowd the net on offense? Clear the crease on defense? Right now, we have no identity and we are not hard to play against. What is Predators hockey? Nobody knows anymore.
- Build for a semblance of an entertaining hockey team next year and play the kids. Play em not to embrace the tank but to see what they got and give them some confidence. Seeing their teammates either get waived or traded for peanuts can’t feel good. I’d be tickled if one of our young players gets 20 points in our last 30 games down the stretch.
- Bring back “Ready to Go” by Republica as our intro song.
- long term
It’s hard for me to see a viable long term plan with current coaching staff but here goes:
This current system is not working. Our passing is off, our shooting % is at a historical franchise low, defensive lapses, not enough hitting, etc.
Either the system is never meant to work or we don’t have the players to work it.
Since many of our core players are signed long term (with NTC), implement a different system that matches the players skill set.
