I'll say it. They look like crap. Their announcers are trying to be optimistic, but everything points to this team drastically improving this offseason to what was already a a good team. What is the deal?
IMO Tampa did a good job to insulate Stamkos and use him to his strengths the last couple of years. I think he is going to get exposed pretty badly in Nashville, but let's see.Lots of changes in the off season and everyone is still trying to understand what their role is but Stamkos needs to wake up
Turns out Tampa fans were right though, Stamkos sucks when he's not scoring at his spot.
They have no depth at centre, the most important position.What is the deal?

I've only seen one Preds game so far and they looked ... decent-ish. Statistically, it looks like they're playing reasonably well but have had poor goaltending and puck luck. Their shooting % is 4.35 5vs5
It will be interesting to see how that works Re Skjei because his entire time as a Cane Pesces job was to babysit Skjei so he could be more aggressive.Skjei has been up or down, but that's mostly because they have him babysitting Schenn. He needs to be on the top two pairings ahead of Lauzon and Carrier, if Brunette can't figure that out he needs to be canned.
O'Reilly hasn't been the problem, but Nyqvist needs to be swapped with marchessault, Evangalista or Tomasino the later two before they ask for a trade or get Tolvanened.
