In the past week or so, the Nashville Predators have traded away Craig Smith, Austin Watson, Nick Bonino, Kyle Turris and Colin Blackwell, moves that left many Preds fans wondering what kind of tricks GM David Poile had hidden up his sleeve.

So this week hosts Michael Gallagher, Geert De Lombaerde and Megan Seling take a closer look at some of the new guys -- Matt Benning, Mark Borowiecki, Luke Kunin, Devin Cooley and Yaroslav Askarov -- and discuss where they fit in the on the roster and what David Poile might have planned.

Is he clearing out cap space for a big star? Is this a move to save money during the pandemic, which has caused sports franchises to lose out on millions of dollars in ticket sales and merchandising? Or are the Preds looking for a fresh start with younger, more moldable players?

Plus: What does Poile's decision to use his first draft pick on a goalie say about Juuse Saros's future with the franchise? Should the NHL shorten the 20-21 season? And which new guy has the most unique pet?
