The Nashville Predators ended their season with a dismal 30-44-8 record, leading to strong criticisms from players regarding coach Andrew Brunette's offensive system. Winger Jonathan Marchessault specifically pointed out that despite the addition of key players like himself and Steven Stamkos, the Predators ranked 31st in scoring and struggled offensively. Marchessault noted that while Brunette made adjustments defensively, the offensive strategy clearly needed reevaluation.

In light of their season's shortcomings, Marchessault called for the team to learn from the strategies of successful teams, emphasizing the necessity of adapting systems to better utilize their offensive talent. He shared insights from his tenure with the Vegas Golden Knights, where coach Bruce Cassidy was known for effective in-game adjustments. This season's performance has left the Predators with much to ponder as they prepare for the next one.
