About this episode

The episode discusses the Nashville Predators' acquisition of five new players on the first day of NHL Free Agency.

The Nashville Predators and Chris MacFarland continue to stay busy, bringing on five new players on the first day of NHL Free Agency. Center Mavrick Borque and defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin arrive from Dallas via trade. Borque gives Nashville a needed push from the middle six. Utah center Alex Kerfoot signs as another boost down the middle from the bottom six. Finally, the Predators acquire two pieces from the Milwaukee Admirals: Colorado's Jack Ahcan and St. Louis' Hunter Skinner. And it doesn't seem like the Predators are stopping here, and McFarland alluded to more moves before training camp arrives in September.
