One day before the NHL’s trade deadline, the Predators chose to add players to the roster instead of subtracting. Nashville on Thursday claimed a pair of veterans off waivers, adding former Washington forward Jakub Vrana and former Boston defenseman Jordan Oesterle.
On Friday afternoon, the Preds dealt forward Mark Jankowski to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick (2026) as the NHL Trade Deadline came and went. Jankowski joined forwards Gustav Nyquist and Tommy Novak, as well as defenseman Luke Schenn, as the players Nashville dealt away in recent days.
The Nashville Predators did not enter the season expecting to be sellers at the NHL trade deadline. Fortunately for general manager Barry Trotz, however, it was a seller's market.
The Nashville Predators (23-32-7, 53 points) host the Chicago Blackhawks (20-35-8, 48 points) for a Central Division matchup Saturday at Bridgestone Arena.
