## Resource

The Nashville Predators are still coming down from the chaos of late June and early July, with Mavrik Bourque introducing himself to the local media. The newly acquired center talked about his development, his excitement about returning to the center, and how he plans to live up to his large contract. Meanwhile, in the front office, Vukie Mpofu has been appointed Assistant General Manager, and Justin Barron has signed a 1-year extension. Finally, we take a look at a column by The Hockey News' Adam Proteau arguing that these new acquisitions won't make the Predators a playoff team.
