NHL Executive Suite

S1: Nashville Predators General Manager David Poile


Listen Later

Deb Placey sits down with Nashville Predators General Manager David Poile, the winningest GM in NHL history. Poile’s love affair with hockey began in earnest while watching Bruins games when he attended Northeastern (2:10) and his time in the NHL began in a trailer in Atlanta (5:35). Poile shares a story about a letter that his father Bud Poile, a member of the Maple Leafs 1947 Stanley Cup winning team, sent to Leafs’ then general manager Conn Smythe from his post during the Second World War (13:30), recounts the time he traded Capitals owner Abe Pollin’s favorite player (15:23) and the thought process behind trading for P.K. Subban (19:35). He details how he guided the Predators from expansion to contention (21:14), provides insight into his favorite wines (27:40) and how he overcame an eye injury suffered in practice (32:05)
