Keith shares his path to becoming an official across multiple levels and gives an overview of the process candidates go through to qualify to wear the stripes. In hockey we often talk about struggling players, ineffective coaches, and questionable GMs, but who else in the hockey word gets as much hate as hockey officials? On today's Locked On Predators, Ann welcomes Nashville hockey official Keith Grooms to talk about the hockey experience from his perspective. We discuss why we think the World Juniors isn't generating quite as much buzz in the hockey world and who could be most affected by that. While Predators fans may enjoy their first look at recent draftee Joakim Kemell play at game speed, there is a distinct lack of enthusiasm for the tournament this year.

Are the Preds looking to do a "now" move or would they be satisfied with a "not yet" value down the road as they move a goaltender? Plus we talk World Juniors. We debate the value of a trade versus a draft pick in return. Nick and Ann break down why the Preds and the Golden Knights should talk, and why the obvious - but potentially unpopular - offer might be Connor Ingram. Last week, the Golden Knights announced that starting goaltender Robin Lehner would miss the 2022-2023 season with a hip injury. With Juuse Saros as the clear starting net minder, what do the Preds do with Lankinen, Connor Ingram, Devin Cooley, and Yaroslav Askarov? On today's Locked On Predators Nick and Ann take a look at a potential deal between the Preds and the Vegas Golden Knights. The Nashville Predators have a plethora of goaltenders after picking up Kevin Lankinen from the Chicago Blackhawks this offseason and parting ways with their ECHL Florida Everblades team. Finally, Eric shares his thoughts on the unusual "vibe" of this 2022 tournament. Nashville's 2021 third round pick Anton Olsson hasn't had the easiest time in Edmonton, and Eric points out the area of Olsson's game that could use a little more finesse moving forward. Swiss captain Simon Knak may be playing on a struggling Team Switzerland, but Eric tells us what aspects of Knak's game are evident in tournament play and which current Nashville Predator Knak could model his game after. Eric shares the stats from Kemell's games in opening round play and highlights the strengths Kemell brings to Team Finland. The biggest name for Nashville fans is first round pick Joakim Kemell. On today's Locked On Predators Nick and Ann welcome OTF prospect expert Eric Dunay to break down how the Predators prospects have been performing so far in the tournament. It is odd to be watching hockey at this time of year, but after the World Juniors were cancelled last December the tournament is back on right now in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

We also share the places we definitely DON'T want to see host and the one thing both Nashville and the NHL have to be wary of doing to make next summer's hockey week a huge success. After a pretty dry awards show in 2022, we make some suggestions for the people and places that may spice up the event in Nashville. While Bridgestone Arena has been announced as the home for the draft, the location for the Awards show hasn't been announced, so Nick and Ann give our favorite picks for where the NHL should consider. We discuss why the NHL doing some things differently in 2023 will make that week in late June a better experience for NHL players, teams, and fans. The two events are a big opportunity for Nashville to again showcase its hockey town vibe, and on today's Locked On Predators Nick and Ann talk about yesterday's big announcement. Yesterday the NASHVILLE PREDATORS and the NHL announced that the 2023 NHL Awards Show and the 2023 NHL Draft would both be held right here in Smashville next June.
