Dreger: Predators "very confident" with lineup headed to trade deadline
/Darren Dreger was on NHL Network’s NHL Tonight on Monday evening.
On if the Predators are happy with what they have right now:
“Very happy and very confident, so David Poile doesn’t have any glaring needs in Nashville. Again, a lot of weight placed on the return of Pekka Rinne.
"When we talked about the Nashville Predators early in the season we wondered, ‘What is it about this team? Is it Peter Laviolette? Is it some of the players that Poile brought in?’
“All of that matters, but a healthy Pekka Rinne makes a considerable difference. So when he comes back healthy, I think the Nashville Predators are happy with what they have.”
