The Nashville Predators are strategizing after trading Alexandre Carrier, suggesting they have more moves planned. Analysts speculate that while the Montreal Canadiens may have improved with this trade, the Predators are clearing cap space for a significant acquisition.

Rumors indicate that Nashville is pursuing Buffalo Sabres center Dylan Cozens and may need to part with players like Tommy Novak or Fedor Svechkov, along with a first-round pick. Additionally, they are seeking a top-four defenseman, with Bowen Byram's name surfacing in discussions.
