In a recent press conference, Nashville Predators General Manager Barry Trotz reflected on the team's ongoing struggles this season, attributing their lackluster performance to the players themselves. Trotz emphasized that the team's execution on the ice has not met expectations, and it is essential for the players to take ownership of their play. He believes that improvement comes from within and that players must be accountable for their roles on the team.
Trotz expressed confidence in his roster but noted that the Predators need more consistency to compete in a tough Central Division. Key players, including Roman Josi and Juuse Saros, have been at the forefront of discussions about the team's performance. Trotz stressed the importance of leadership from established stars like Josi, who is expected to inspire the younger players and elevate the team's overall play.
As the Predators navigate through a challenging season, Trotz remains hopeful that adjustments can be made. With a couple of crucial games approaching, it's crucial for the players to step up and deliver solid performances. The GM's straightforward assessment may serve as a wake-up call for the team as they strive to regain their winning ways and become a competitive force in the league again.
