Adam Vingan: Why the Predators are last in NHL after spending $108.5 million

A lot of data with very little analysis.
Slow. We have a lot of slow, high skill firepower that pairs well with faster strike players but we don’t have the faster strike players.
Its weird that the predators always over achieved with no payroll for like 15 years and now that we have a payroll we constantly disappoint
Free agency never pans out it’s the #1 rule. somehow we all fell for it and theyre in a nightmare it’s literally November of year 1
I didn’t even realize Stamkos was a -20 last year with Tampa good grief just can’t do it at 5 on 5 anymore
We are so slow. Teams seemingly play a man on man defense against us because there is absolutely no threat of us being dangerous or having an open man that can make the defense regret it. We leave our goalie wide open and let their offensive players floss between us and pass back and forth without any contest. This has been the most painful team I’ve ever watched.
Slow, hardly any good 5 on 5 skaters a few months after the best 5 on 5 team in hockey won it all lol. Trotz messed up.
I’m still not gonna lose my shit about this team until February. I’m not a smart man, though.
Maybe go back to the blue uniforms? We gotta try something at this point.
Investing money takes time to recoup
Maybe the draft picks next year will bring more speed and that’s the plan. IDK, I grew up a Capitals fan kinda living in Maryland. Then I spend 20 years in the military and retired near Nashville. I have been trying hard to like this team up damn it’s hard with ticket prices, blackouts and management of talent. I am wasting my time with this team lol
We lost Sherwood and McDonough amirite from last year that were difference makers? Zucker and the other winger dude with the long name. I remember Zucker being very pesky, moderately fast, and somewhat skilled
OH, and our 1B ‘essentially’ goalie ladies and gentlemen, Kevin Lankinen
I guess my point is why are we noticeably slower this year… Old farts and overthinking in a new system
And always remember, I’m the world’s best or real close about not reading other comments prior to commenting
