4. Nashville Predators

The Nashville Predators are another disappointing team so far in the regular season. They did an amazing job last season and even made the playoffs. Although they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, they still finished the season very strong.

The Predators have a well-rounded team. They are a great team in all aspects. Forwards such as Matt Duchene, Filip Forsberg, and Ryan Johansen have helped give this team success. On their defensive side, they have players such as Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis. Even their goaltending has been great as recently as last season with Pekka Rinne and Juuse Saros.

In addition to the players, they also have great leadership in their coaching. Peter Laviolette has been one of the most successful coaches in recent times. He has led the Providence Bruins to a Calder Cup, coached the Carolina Hurricanes to their first ever Stanley Cup, and has led teams to the Stanley Cup Finals on several occasions. Laviolette is a wonderful coach for the Predators to have but their performance has been very under par so far.

Their performance has been very poor so far during the 2019-2020 season but there is still a lot of hockey left in the season. The Predators certainly have the talent and experience to be able to bounce back and have a successful season.
