Last season was a major disappointment for the Predators after they missed the playoffs for the first time since the 02'-03' season.
The Preds took a step in the right direction to getting back to the playoffs by re-signing Steve Sullivan and Joel Ward, two key offensive players.
Sullivan has been injured for much of the past two seasons but looks to be healthy now and add a major scoring threat to a team that at times struggles to score goals.
While Sullivan was out last season, Joel Ward came in and really provided a nice spark for the Predators. Ward scored 17 goals last season, good for fourth on the team.
The Predators have always had the bad luck of playing in the same division as the NHL juggernaut that is the Detroit Red Wings.
It's still way too early to tell what the Predators will bring to the table for the 09'-10' season, but coach Barry Trotz as always brought consistent teams to do battle on the rink. I expect them to put another solid season together and make another playoff run.
