Nashville Predators undergo front-office overhaul ahead of new season

The Nashville Predators are entering a period of transition following a 38–34–10 season that saw the team miss the playoffs for the second consecutive year. Under new President of Hockey Operations Chris MacFarland, the franchise has undergone a significant front-office overhaul, including the addition of executive VP Rob Blake and several other executives.

On the ice, head coach Andrew Brunette enters his fourth season on a contract year, while the roster features a mix of veterans like Steven Stamkos, Filip Forsberg, and captain Roman Josi. The team's performance in the upcoming season will likely dictate whether the organization pursues a full rebuild or continues to compete with its current core.

Regarding media coverage, the broadcasting landscape for the team has shifted. Most local matchups will now air on free, over-the-air television via Scripps Sports, including WNPX-TV in Nashville. Fans can also access broadcasts through the official Nashville Predators app, while national streaming exclusives will be available on ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu.
