In a recent discussion about the Nashville Predators, Barry Trotz expressed concerns over the team's performance, particularly their struggles in five-on-five situations. He hinted at a potential rebuild if improvements aren't seen soon, emphasizing the difficulty of finding top-six centers and quality defensemen.

Despite being strong on the power play, the Predators are facing significant challenges at even strength. Analysts suggest that roster construction issues may be contributing to their struggles, especially with injuries affecting key players.
