The Nashville Predators are the expected landing spot for a key target after the Los Angeles Kings were reportedly informed they are out of the running, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Per Friedman, the decision-making process over the weekend was narrowed down to a choice between Los Angeles and Nashville. Recent updates indicate that the Kings have been officially notified that they are no longer in consideration, leaving the Predators as the presumptive choice.
While Friedman noted that no one has officially confirmed the decision yet, the Kings being told they are out of the mix strongly suggests an imminent move to Nashville. The situation has been a primary focus of NHL discussions throughout the weekend as the two franchises emerged as the final candidates.
This development would mark a significant roster move for the Predators organization. No official statements have been released by either team at this time regarding the finality of the decision.
