I have a few concerns about Nashville. One is leadership. Weber has been the go-to leadership guy in that locker room for a long time. Who steps up to fill that void? Two, the Predators lost a lot of grit with the losses of Weber & Gaustad. Three, who takes the big face offs now that Gaustad is gone? Gaustad took all the key face offs late in games. He was also one of the teams best penalty killers. Bass can’t fill that role. That isn’t Sissons game. Maybe they put Jarnkrok in that role. Four, can Mazanec give the Preds the same quality starts as the backup as Hutton did? Hutton picked the Preds up when Rinne struggled & also played well enough to give Rinne rest. Can Mazanec provide the same? Finally, how does Subban fit into the locker room? His play speaks for itself. However, his showboating style has rubbed teammates the wrong way in the past. That style is the reason he is no longer in Montreal. Weber was all business. Subban does it with more flare. Can he tone it down a little & not rub his teammates the wrong way?
