Predators Tap Rob Blake to Run Hockey Ops

Nashville is handing the keys to a man who has spent decades in the league’s inner circle and knows how front offices really work. Rob Blake arrives with the kind of credibility that matters when a team is trying to sharpen its identity and clean up the margins that separate contenders from also-rans. The Predators are signaling that this is not a cosmetic hire, because this job puts one of hockey’s most recognizable decision-makers in charge of the big levers.

Brett Peterson’s Panthers Future Hangs After GM Snub

Predators Could Be Laine's Best Bet This Summer

Nashville is the kind of place where one bold swing can change the tone of an entire summer, and Patrik Laine fits that kind of gamble. The talent has never been the issue, but the fit has always come with a little extra theater, and that usually gets front offices talking. The Predators have reasons to explore it, because a player with Laine's ceiling can tilt a market if the price and the patience line up. This is the sort of move that can look obvious in July and very different by November.
