Nashville Predators Rumblings & Rumors: Filip Forsberg's Contract and Barry Trotz In Town?

In an offseason brimming with apprehension about Filip Forsberg's contract situation, every word and rumor about the Nashville Predators is being highly scrutinized by a tense fan base. On today's Locked On Predators, Nick and Ann take a look at the most recent rumblings and rumors to determine what Predators fans can actually take away from the snippets of information floating around Smashville. How much should Nashville read into John Hynes' words "optimistic" and "pretty confident" in a radio interview yesterday when asked about Forsberg's contract situation? And what about Fil's recent activities around town - should Preds fans read anything into his CMA appearance? We also tackle the news that former Predators coach Barry Trotz has bought a house in Middle Tennessee. We debate whether this could mean a potential front office position for Trotz in Nashville. Finally, we take a look at the Stanley Cup Finals game one. The Colorado Avalanche won in OT, but Nick and Ann explain why the Tampa Bay Lightning are not even close to panicking.
