As the summer drags on, Bridgestone Arena's boardroom seems to get quieter and quieter. Yes, the Nashville Predators did pick up a familiar face in Dan Hamuis, who signed a 2 year, $2.5 million dollar deal. And yes, Miikka Salomäki will be sticking around for a little while longer.

Really though, with players like Jeff Skinner being traded for Pu-nuts and every Ottawa Senator practically begging for an exit, you'd like to see the Predators do a bit more. From players to coaches to management, they've made it clear that they trust their group to get it done this year. When you consider just how good the Central Division is looking though, it could be cause for concern. Are the Predators in better or worse shape than last year as a Cup Contender? We discuss!

More importantly, in an almost certainly inebriated lapse of judgement, Ryan Kesler has officially challenged Ryan Johansen to a streetfighting duel? Or perhaps 1v1 street hockey?

Enjoy the episode! As always, direct all positive comments to @wadem117 and all negative feedback to @georgem1019.
