The Nashville Predators are not experiencing the type of success they were hoping for after shipping P.K. Subban off to New Jersey and signing Matt Duchene to a 7-year, $56M contract this summer.
The Preds have found themselves on the outside of the playoff picture, looking in through the club's first 40 games this season.
Though it may not be time to panic just yet, as the Preds have a few games-in-hand over most teams in the West, the time to make a move or two to shake up the roster may be nearing.
On Saturday, Sportsnet Hockey Insider Elliotte Friedman has indicated that Preds GM David Poile has begun taking calls on several players and inquiring what might be out there to help improve his team.
“There's no question he's started to bring up the phone lines to see what's out there, and if things don't change, the Predators could make some kind of roster change pretty quickly,” Friedman said.

Friedman would add that any changes Poile may decide to make will be to the roster, and not behind the bench, as has been confirmed earlier this week.
