The Nashville Predators are facing challenges under general manager Barry Trotz, as they continue to unravel in the current NHL season. Trotz, who is famously known for his previous successes with the Washington Capitals, has been struggling to find the right balance and consistency within the team. The Predators' recent performances have raised concerns about their direction and future prospects.

Key players like Roman Josi and Juuse Saros are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain their form amidst the uncertainty. With Josi's leadership on the blue line and Saros' goalkeeping prowess, their individual performances are often overshadowed by the team's struggles. The inconsistency on both sides of the puck has left fans questioning the team's strategy and overall trajectory.

The ownership group is seemingly patient, but there is mounting pressure for Trotz to deliver results. If the Predators fail to turn things around soon, discussions about trading or redefining the roster could heat up. It remains to be seen if Trotz can replicate his past successes in Nashville, or if the team will continue to falter in a highly competitive Western Conference. Fans are eagerly watching to see if the Predators can find a way to unify and perform as a cohesive unit once again.
