As the 2024 NHL playoffs heat up, four former Predators players are facing vastly different fates. At the trade deadline, Nashville dealt away key players to bolster their roster, but the outcomes have been far from uniform. Former Predators forward Ryan Johansen, now with the Calgary Flames, is riding a hot streak, leading his team to the top of the Western Conference standings. Meanwhile, defenseman Ryan Ellis, now with the Philadelphia Flyers, is struggling to find his footing, and his team is on the outside looking in at playoff contention. In contrast, forward Mikael Granlund, now with the Minnesota Wild, has found new life in Minnesota, helping his team secure a crucial playoff spot. And finally, forward Matt Duchene, now with the Columbus Blue Jackets, is facing an uncertain future as his team teeters on the edge of playoff elimination. As the playoffs continue, it will be fascinating to see which of these former Predators players can lead their teams to success.
