Nashville Predators Talk - 2024/2025 Season

[Armourboy]

There in lies the problem. Either Trotz has no idea how to build a roster or Brunette doesn’t know how to use the roster he’s given. Either way I hope they enjoy their Jello cups after the game.

Considering the kind of money these guys make I'm sure its something a bit better than a Jello cup.

We are now one game short of a PRIMM.

And sadly, we are disproving Steve's adage, as even a 10 game win streak wouldn't fix our season.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Even with a four game winning streak, we are still 10 points with other teams having a game in hand away from the last wildcard spot.

I guess those teams will just have to start losing.

Won't help. Still need 93-95 points minimum.

 

[Armourboy]

Playoffs aren't a thing unless we basically win out and the teams in front of us just all completely collapse.

26-10-0 get them 93 points, 26-8-2 is 95. This is what Trotz is clinging to.

It is hard to watch Celebrini last night and not think about adding a talent like that to our team.

Oh, they're very much a thing. None of the teams battling for that 8th seed are convincing. With two more wins, we're 5 points behind the Blues with the same amount of games played.

People seem to be quick in forgetting that even last year the turn-around didn't start until mid-FEBRUARY. And Nyquist said in an interview earlier this year that they're all just settling into Bruno's system (he was talking about the new-comers mainly) as it takes an unusually long time to get acclimated into the system.

There's still almost half the season to be played. We have the easiest schedule in the whole league. I'm not saying they'll absolutely make the playoffs (won't be surprised if they do, though) but it'll be damn close.

We are basically in a win 2 lose 1 type of situation. We just hit our 1st 4 game winning streak of the season. The one thing we got going for us is that we have the easiest schedule out of any team for the remaining schedule. Is it possible to make the playoffs? Technically yes. Is it realistic? No, which is why i think we end up somewhere between 8th and 13th overall pick in the 1st round. Itll be good enough to keep Bruno and for Trotz to try and add in the offseason.

We were in a playoff spot at this point last season though. We were on the outside looking in when the win streak started but only by four points versus ten points now so we have a lot more ground to make up. For us to be in the playoff hunt is going to require us to essentially play at a President's Trophy pace for the rest of the season, which we did do last season but I'm not sure I'd bet on it happening again. And even if we do manage that pace we're still just on the bubble and depending on none of the teams ahead of us in the wild card hunt get hot either.
