Nashville's goaltender generated plenty of interest in the 2023-24 The Hockey News season predictions.
The Hockey News believes that Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros could be in the Vezina conversation this season and I'll tell you why they're right.
The Hockey News conducted a their preseason poll voting on everything from player performances, postseason predictions, and NHL awards. Writers from The Hockey News voted on which General Manager is on the hot seat to which player will have a breakout year to what team will hoist the Stanley Cup at the end of the season.
When it comes to which goaltender would win the Vezina Trophy, Juuse Saros earned votes in the poll. Even with the Nashville Predators undergoing a retooling and low postseason expectations, Juuse Saros tied for third place in THN's preseason Vezina poll. There's good reason why Saros could be in the Vezina conversation at the end of 2023-24.
