## Resource

The book officially closed on the 2025-26 season as the Nashville Predators conducted exit interviews and end-of-season availability on Monday. While many fans have pushed for a more extensive rebuild, the team and staff remain focused on succeeding and making the playoffs with the current corps. Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, who signaled a potential departure in the offseason, expressed their intentions to help the Predators succeed. Andrew Brunette addressed the pressing questions about remaining as the head coach and Barry Trotz spoke for likely the final time as General Manager.
