Nashville Predators Trade Mattias Ekholm, Welcome Luke Evangelista to NHL

The Nashville Predators traded defenseman Mattias Ekholm to the Edmonton Oilers late yesterday and received Tyson Barrie, Reid Schaefer, and two picks in the 2023 draft in return. The Predators took the ice after the news broke against the Pittsburgh Penguins and forward Luke Evangelista made his NHL debut. We discuss the Ekholm trade, Evangelista's performance, and what may be next for Nashville before the trade deadline on Friday. It is clear the Predators are starting a new chapter as news broke late yesterday afternoon that veteran Mattias Ekholm was traded to the Edmonton Oilers. On today's Locked On Predators we take a look back at Ekholm's tenure with the Preds. With the amount of draft capital the Predators are amassing, what might be their next move? As Nashville said goodbye to a favorite veteran, the team welcomed forward Luke Evangelista to the NHL as he made his debut at Bridgestone Arena against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
