We are just days away from the first game of the regular season, and the Nashville Predators have landed in Prague with their 27 man roster preparing for the Global Series games against the San Jose Sharks. On today's Locked On Predators, we take a closer look at those 27 names and tell you how we see the forward lines shaking out. There is no question that Ryan Johansen and Nino Niederreiter are a match made in second line heaven, but is Phil Tomasino no longer the front runner to join them on that line? We'll debate whether Tomo's recent healthy scratches have us concerned about his spot on the second line. Last season, the fourth line seemed composed of the players who weren't ready for more than fourth line minutes, but this preseason the Predators have an abundance of skilled players vying for a few spots at the bottom of the lineup. We'll tell you why the problem is about quality and not just quantity. Nick and Ann discuss their picks for final roster spots, and we don't agree on everyone. We also have an interesting discussion about the multi-purpose potential of different fourth line combinations. Finally, we talk about the NHL Network's docuseries "Behind the Glass" that aired the second of four episodes last night. We'll tell you what scene did us in and why you may not want to put the tissues away before next week's episode airs.
