It is a new look Nashville Predators roster in 2023-24, and on today's Locked On Predators we make our picks for next season's breakout candidates. Juuso Pärssinen's performance in his 45 games in gold gave fans plenty of reasons to believe he could be a big piece for the Preds, and Ann will explain why line mates, time on ice, and where he lands in the lineup won't diminish his importance to the team. An experienced blue liner is Nick's pick for breakout candidate. We take a look back at Alexandre Carrier's career and share why he could take another giant step forward for the team next season. Finally, we discuss a recent ranking of the most impactful offseason moves in the NHL. We debate how much Alex DeBrincat can move the needle for the Detroit Red Wings, how Matt Duchene and Ryan Johansen will impact their new teams, and how much we think Ryan O'Reilly will change the Predators' fortune in 23-24.
