Predators' Nicolas Hague: Likely healthy for camp
Hague (upper body) is expected to be healthy for training camp, Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey reports Tuesday.
General manager Chris MacFarland told reporters Tuesday that the Predators are expected to have everyone healthy to begin camp. Hague was limited to 15 points in 62 outings last season, missing three chunks of time due to injuries throughout the year, including the last six games of the campaign. The 27-year-old defenseman will likely fill a defensive role in the bottom four, so his fantasy value is set to be limited to banger formats -- he had 76 hits, 54 blocked shots and 47 PIM last year.

Predators' Nils Hoglander: Good to go
Hoglander (undisclosed) is expected to be ready for training camp, Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey reports Tuesday
General manager Chris MacFarland told reporters Tuesday that all players are expected to be healthy for camp. Hoglander will be trying to carve out a role in the middle six with Nashville after coming over from Vancouver in a trade in June. The 25-year-old winger has seen his stock fall in the last couple of years, and he was limited to five points in 38 games for the Canucks in 2025-26. While he should be poised for a bounce-back campaign, it's tough to expect much more than 20-25 points out of Hoglander given the trajectory of his production.

Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Expected to be ready for camp
Marchessault (undisclosed) is expected to be available for training camp, Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey reports Tuesday.
General manager Chris MacFarland believes the Predators will have all their players ready for camp. Marchessault will be trying to bounce back from a tough 2025-26, in which he was limited to 31 points in 62 regular-season contests. The 35-year-old winger can be tentatively penciled in for a top-six role with power-play time, but he could slide to the third line and second power-play unit if some of Nashville's prospects take a big leap heading into the year.

Predators' Justin Barron: Secures one-year deal
Barron signed a one-year, $1.575 million contract with Nashville on Monday.
Barron contributed nine assists, 31 shots on goal, 60 blocked shots and 37 hits in 52 appearances for the Predators during the 2025-26 regular season. He will compete for a depth role with Nashville's blue line during training camp.

Predators' Mavrik Bourque: Signs six-year deal
Bourque signed a six-year, $33 million contract with the Predators on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Bourque was traded to Nashville on Wednesday to help Dallas free up potential cap space. The 24-year-old is now locked in as part of the Predators' young core. He had 20 goals, 21 assists, 147 shots on net, 78 hits and a plus-6 rating over 82 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Look for Bourque to fill a middle-six role with his new team.

Predators' Chase Bradley: Pens two-year deal
Bradley signed a two-year, two-way contract with Nashville on Friday.
Bradley was part of the five-player deal between the Preds and Avs that included Jack Drury. The 24-year-old Bradley figures to spend the bulk of the upcoming campaign in the minors with AHL Milwaukee, but he could be called up as needed due to injuries among the Nashville forward group.

Predators' Hunter Skinner: Signs with Nashville
Skinner signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Predators on Wednesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Skinner got his first taste of NHL action with the Blues in 2025-26 against Philadelphia on Nov. 14. He recorded seven goals, 12 assists and 61 PIM across 60 regular-season appearances with AHL Springfield last year. He will likely spend most of his time in the minors in the 2026-27 campaign.

Predators' Jack Ahcan: Secures two-year deal
Ahcan agreed to terms on a two-year, two-way contract with Nashville on Wednesday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.
Ahcan will face an uphill battle when it comes to securing a spot on the Predators' blue line. The 29-year-old played in just 11 regular-season games for Colorado in 2025-26, notching two assists, six hits and eight shots. Even if he does make Nashville's roster out of training camp, Ahcan doesn't offer enough offensive upside or category coverage to be worth taking in most fantasy formats.

Predators' Alex Kerfoot: Secures two-year deal
Kerfoot penned a two-year, $7 million contract with Nashville on Wednesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Kerfoot played in a mere 34 games for the Mammoth last year, tallying seven goals and six helpers. If he can stay healthy, the 31-year-old center has the ability to get back over the 30-point threshold, a mark he failed to hit in each of the last two years.

Predators' Ilya Lyubushkin: Traded Wednesday
Lyubushkin and Mavrik Bourque were acquired by Nashville from Dallas on Wednesday in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 third-round selection, per Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
Lyubushkin had a goal, nine points, 40 PIM, 68 hits and 90 blocks in 53 regular-season appearances with the Stars in 2025-26. He'll be competing for a third-pairing spot with Nashville, but he might end up being the team's seventh blueliner, which would lead to him regularly serving as a healthy scratch.

Predators' Mavrik Bourque: Traded to Nashville
Bourque and Ilya Lyubushkin were traded to the Predators from the Stars on Wednesday in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 third-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
After making 73 regular-season appearances for Dallas in 2024-25, Bourque appeared in every regular-season game for the Stars last year, racking up 20 goals, 21 assists, 78 hits, 22 PIM and 21 blocked shots while averaging 15:29 of ice time. He carved out some time on the power play with the Stars and will attempt to continue his development with a change of scenery ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Predators' Nils Hoglander: Sent to Music City
Hoglander (undisclosed) was acquired by Nashville on Monday from Vancouver in exchange for a 2029 third-round pick.
Hoglander becomes the latest addition to general manager Chris MacFarland's reshaped Predators roster, and free agency is still a few days away. The 25-year-old Hoglander was limited to just 38 regular-season games in 2025-26, generating two goals and three assists along the way. If he can get back to being the 2023-24 version of himself, Hoglander could push for the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds this year.

Predators' Jack Drury: Inks five-year contract
Drury signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract with Nashville on Sunday, PuckPedia reports.
Drury generated 10 goals, 27 points, 99 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and 46 hits in 82 regular-season games for Colorado in 2025-26. The Predators acquired Drury, Chase Bradley and a 2029 third-round pick from the Avalanche on Wednesday in exchange for Fedor Svechkov and Zachary L'Heureux.

Predators' Jakub Floris: Picked by Nashville in Round 4
Floris was the 106th overall pick by Nashville in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Although born in Slovakia, Floris has spent the past two years playing for the Luuko program in Finland. A tall (6-foot-3), rangy defender, he's generated a bunch of offense at the junior level and should see some playing time in Finland's top league this coming season. The main question here is whether Floris' offense will carry over to higher levels. He doesn't offer much from a physical standpoint, and his mobility is just average, so there isn't a ton to fall back upon should things go sideways. Floris, who has played in numerous international tournaments in the past, should be a key part of Slovakia's World Junior team.

Predators' Adam Edstrom: Headed to Smashville in trade
Edstrom has been traded from the Rangers to Nashville on Saturday in exchange for Massimo Rizzo and the No. 148 pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft.
Edstrom is a 6-foot-7, 232-pound behemoth who appeared in 35 games for the Rangers last season. He had three goals, five points, 31 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 65 hits in 2025-26 while averaging just 9:28 of ice time per contest. He will compete for a fourth-line role with Nashville in the 2026-27 campaign.

Predators' Dmitri Borichev: Stolen by Preds in Round 3
Borichev was the 70th overall pick by Nashville in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Russian goaltenders have seemingly been flying up the draft rankings in recent years, and Borichev is the latest example. Fresh off a season in the junior MHL, in which he posted a 2.25 GAA and .929 save percentage in 24 games, Borichev has plenty of physical traits which should translate down the line. He moves very well for a 6-foot-2 kid, with above-average awareness and athleticism. History tells us these types of draft picks typically marinate overseas for several years before arriving stateside. Borichev, who didn't turn 18 years of age until a week before the draft, is a quality long-term upside play for Nashville.

Predators' Tommy Bleyl: High-upside steal at 31st in draft
Bleyl was the 31st overall pick by Nashville in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.
Bleyl is a smooth two-way transition defender with a whole lot of skill. He finished as the top-scoring blueliner in the QMJHL with 13 goals and 81 points in 63 regular-season games in 2025-26. And he finished third overall in playoff scoring with 28 points in 21 games. Bleyl looks so effortless and cool with the puck that it's hard not to imagine him earning a top-four role and QB1 gig, too. Bleyl isn't very physical -- he uses his mobility and IQ to manage guys in his own zone. But he'll be hard-pressed to deal with 6-foot-4 forwards if he doesn't grow the snarl part of his game a bit. Bleyl's development curve will be slow -- he's heading back to Moncton for 2026-27 and has committed to Michigan State for 2027-28. But Nashville has had a solid track record of developing defensemen, and Bleyl is a steal this late in the first round.
