Barry Trotz Talks Competition and Confidence Ahead of Nashville Predators Training Camp

The Nashville Predators open training camp today with team meetings and physicals before taking the ice for the first official practice tomorrow. New General Manager Barry Trotz talked with Emma Lingan, Senior Content Manager and Beat Reporter for the Preds about what he wants to see this season, and his comments have Nick and Ann asking some questions about what 2023-24 may hold. One of the biggest questions going into training camp is how Andrew Brunette's new systems might impact players like Roman Josi and the roster construction in the bottom six. The Predators fan base is ready for a youth movement, but is Barry Trotz ready to risk a young player's confidence when it comes to playing big minutes? We talk about his comments and what that may mean for some fresh faces in Nashville. Trotz has also put all the players on notice that this will be a training camp all about competition. Nick and Ann share their three "sure things" when it comes to starters, but which other players may be in battles for NHL ice time? Finally, we discuss how new-to-Nashville veterans Ryan O'Reilly, Gustav Nyquist, and Luke Schenn could help grow an already resilient culture in the locker room.
