It's difficult to forget the overtime goals, the otherworldly saves, the massive crowds on Broadway and beyond - all indelible images of the Nashville Predators magical run to the 2017 Stanley Cup Final.
And while these moments will never be forgotten, it's just about time to make room for something new.
We're now just days away from the first pucks hitting the ice at Predators training camp following veterans reporting on Sept. 14 for team meetings. As is always the case, Head Coach Peter Laviolette and his staff will make plenty of decisions over the coming days and weeks - some more difficult than others - all in preparation for what will be Nashville's 20th NHL season, with the highest expectations in franchise history. No pressure, right?
