Predators Rumors: Coaching change coming in Nashville?
The Nashville Predators came into this season with a refreshed roster and some high expectations. Unfortunately for the Preds, nothing is going right, and it could cost head coach Andrew Brunette his job.
Nashville has started 7-16-6, and sit last in the entire NHL. GM Barry Trotz mentioned earlier in the year he wasn't going to be shy with blowing things up, which could mean significant roster moves, or another coaching change behind the bench.
Brunette's made some interesting comments this season, mentioning recently he'd scratch every game on the roster if it was possible. "We could scratch every guy in our lineup," Brunette said Tuesday, according to The Tennessean's Alex Daugherty. "But unfortunately, we need players going. At different times, (scratching high-profile players) crosses your mind. But they have to earn it; you can't just do it to do it. It's a false thing to do where you try to create something ... Players see right through that."
"Is there going to come a time (to scratch high-profile players)? There might," Brunette said. "But saying that, everyone wants to be held accountable. But they don't like when they're held accountable. That's where it gets tricky. And when you've got a whole team that's probably not playing up to their capabilities, to their expectations, it's easy to have an excuse for how come he's not getting it. My point to them is, how about you play better?"Predators coach Andrew Brunette on if he’s worried about job security, how conversations with Barry Trotz have gone recently. pic.twitter.com/CJIkceySr3
