Nashville Predators GM David Poile spoke candidly with 102.5 The Game's Robby and Rexrode show yesterday about the decision to place Eeli Tolvanen on waivers and Tolvanen's subsequent performance with his new team, the Seattle Kraken. We discuss what Poile revealed about Tolvanen's time in Nashville, plus we preview tonight's games against the Toronto Maple Leafs. 

102.5 The Game's Robby Stanley asked Predators' GM David Poile about the loss of Eeli Tolvanen and how Poile feels about the decision to place the young 2017 first round draft pick on waivers in December. In a frank interview, Poile addressed the thinking behind the move and takes ownership for the future outcome of that decision. On today's Locked On Predators, Nick and Ann look past the obvious headline from that conversation and dig into what we believe the real takeaways are from Poile's revelations. We debate whether Tolvanen was given enough time to develop with the Predators and if the team will regret this move in the long run. We share why the outrage over Eeli Tolvanen may be a lightning rod for a wider frustration among the fan base. We also preview tonight's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. We share two keys to the game for the Predators and why this game could be telling as the Predators try to climb back into playoff contention.
