So is rookie net-minder Yaraslov Askarov, who got his first NHL win over the weekend. How good can he be? Then we dive into every major contract decision facing the Preds - Saros' future, Dante Fabbro, Alex Carrier, Tyson Barrie and what to do with Tommy Novak, Philip Tomasino and more.

Braden Gall and Micheal Gallagher from NashvilleHockeyNow.com talk Predators hockey.
The Preds have hit a cold streak during the Holiday Break and it showed in the Carolina loss. Sloppy penalties, bad special teams and another game in which Juuse Saros got pulled.

December 14, 2023 Can Filip Forsberg be elite?
Braden Gall and Micheal Gallagher from NashvilleHockeyNow.com talk Predators hockey.
The Preds have won 11 out of 14 and are finding ways to win even when they don't play their best. Juuse Saros is red hot and so is the penalty kill. But no one is hotter than Filip Forsberg. What is his ceiling and can he be an elite NHL forward? When should fans allow themselves to buy into the Andrew Brunette system?

December 07, 2023 Positive First Half Pace
Braden Gall and Micheal Gallagher from NashvilleHockeyNow.com talk Predators hockey.
The guys break down two disappointing losses to former coaches but how the team rebounded in a big way against Buffalo and Chicago on the road. Juuse Saros is playing better but is actually the reason this team isn't better - that's right. Guys all over the roster are having career seasons (so far) and Tyson Barrie trade talks heat up. Plus, a young Russian to keep an eye on.
