The Nashville Predators have made a major move in their coaching staff, as Andrew Brunette has been named the new head coach following the dismissal of John Hynes. This move comes after the Predators had a disappointing season that saw them miss the playoffs for the first time in five years.
Brunette is no stranger to the Predators organization, as he was an assistant coach for the team from 2016-2019. During his time as an assistant, he helped guide the team to the Stanley Cup Final in 2017 and a Presidents’ Trophy in 2018. He has also served as an assistant coach for the Minnesota Wild and the Colorado Avalanche.
Brunette brings a wealth of experience to the Predators, as he has been involved in the NHL for over two decades. He played 17 seasons in the league, including seven with the Predators, and was part of two Stanley Cup-winning teams with Colorado and Minnesota. He also won a gold medal with Team Canada at the 2002 Olympics.
The Predators are hoping that Brunette can help turn things around and get them back into the playoffs. He has a proven track record of success and is well respected in the hockey community. He is also familiar with the Predators organization, which should help him hit the ground running.
Only time will tell if this move will pay off for the Predators, but it is clear that they are hoping that Brunette can help them get back to their winning ways. With his experience and knowledge of the game, it is likely that he will be able to make an immediate impact on the team.
