The 2022 Nashville Predators offseason has been like a furious game of "Red Light, Green Light," with moves coming at the most unexpected times.

It's certainly been busy with the Preds stockpiling talent in trades, free agency and the draft. The highlight by far was the signing of Filip Forsberg, the Preds all-time leading scorer, to an eight-year, $68 million contract.

However, the Forsberg signing wasn't the only major move made by the Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile. Prior to the start of free agency, Nashville bolstered the blue lineacquiring defenseman Ryan McDonagh from the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Most recently, Poile and company found a top-six forward by signing veteran Nino Niederreiter to a two-year, $8 million contract .

Add in a couple of additional free-agent signings and the selection of Finnish forward Joakim Kemell with the 17th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft and it's been one of the most productive offseasons in recent memory.
