For the first time in franchise history, the Nashville Predators made it to the second round of the playoffs. The problem? The same problem that they've always had: talent. Hard work and a team concept can only carry a team so far, but without that go-to scorer, that's all Nashville can hope for. Certainly, it wasn't Shea Weber's fault, as he provided some much needed leadership to go along with that lethal slapshot from the blue line. Matthew Lombardi was supposed to add speed to the lineup, but he was injured for much of the season and had a negligible impact. At least he played for the Preds, which the same cannot be said for Ryan Parent. He was traded to Vancouver in a deal that saw Shane O'Brien head to Nashville. Parent was nowhere to be found on the Vancouver lineup, spending much of the season in Manitoba.
