Ryan McDonagh, Jeremy Lauzon, and the Future of the Nashville Predators Defense

For the first time in his career, defenseman Ryan McDonagh missed out on the postseason as the Nashville Predators began a late season reset. On today's episode, we take a look back at McDonagh's first season as a Nashville Predators and share our "one word" to describe his game. It wasn't an easy transition for the two time Stanley Cup winner in Nashville, and we discuss why we think next season may be another season of adjustment for McDonagh. What will new head coach Andrew Brunette need from the defenseman? We also take a look at Jeremy Lauzon's 2022-23 season. The Predators signed Lauzon to a four year deal - what does the team need from Lauzon in this reset? Finally, we speculate on what a potential Juuse Saros trade could mean for McDonagh, Lauzon, and the entire Nashville Predators blue liners if Barry Trotz decides to move Nashville's game stealing goaltender.
