    Predators Power Rankings: Bourque boosts Nashville to playoff contender in Central | Beatline Predators
    2026/08/23
    The Nashville Predators sit fifth in the Central Division, but after adding Mavrik Bourque, they look like a playoff team. In this power rankings episode, we break down where the Preds stand, what makes them dangerous, and what could hold them back.

    We discuss Bourque's 20-goal season and his new six-year, $33 million contract, plus the addition of Ilya Lyubushkin on defense. We also break down the strengths of the roster, including Filip Forsberg, Steven Stamkos, and Jonathan Marchessault, and the question marks in the bottom six and backup goalie competition between Justus Annunen and Isak Posch.

    We give our realistic win projection of 97 points and predict Nashville will make the playoffs. We also revisit our earlier predictions that Bourque will score 25 goals and that Juuse Saros will be a Vezina finalist. The Preds open the season at home against the Minnesota Wild on October 2.

    Predators: Bourque Trade, Center Logjam, Backup Goalie Battle | Beatline Predators
    2026/08/20
    The Nashville Predators made a major offseason splash by acquiring center Mavrik Bourque and defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin from the Dallas Stars. The trade, which sent a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 third-round pick to Dallas, was announced during the team's offseason. Bourque, 24, scored 20 goals and added 21 assists last season, and the move is expected to reshape the Predators' center depth and bolster their blue line as they aim to climb the Central Division standings.

    In this mailbag episode, hosts Gina and Wes break down Bourque's immediate fit, projecting him as the second-line center with Steven Stamkos shifting to wing. They analyze the cost of the trade, the impact on the power play alongside Filip Forsberg, and the ripple effects on the roster. The backup goalie battle between Justus Annunen and Yaroslav Posch is discussed, with Annunen holding the early edge. Ross Colton's role is examined, and the hosts weigh the chances of prospects Aiden Fink and Ryker Lee making the opening night roster. The episode also features a lightning round with predictions on the Preds' point total, Bourque's goal output, Saros's Vezina chances, and playoff odds.

    This episode is perfect for Nashville Predators fans, affectionately known as Preds Nation, who want in-depth analysis of the team's offseason moves and roster battles. Hosts Gina and Wes deliver daily coverage on the Beatline Podcast Network, keeping fans informed as the preseason opener against the Minnesota Wild on October 2nd approaches.
