Ryan McDonagh officially traded by Nashville Predators

The Nashville Predators flamed out in the first round of the playoffs, and now they've moved a veteran defenseman, potentially clearing plenty of salary cap space.

After a solid run into the playoffs, the Nashville Predators have been rumoured to make some huge moves this summer, including interest in Toronto's Mitch Marner. Their first move of the off-season wasn't a blockbuster, but it was an interesting move, as they have now sent veteran Ryan McDonagh back to Tampa Bay in exchange for two draft picks.

In exchange for McDonagh and a fourth-round pick, the Predators will land a second-round pick next year, as well as a pick in the seventh-round of the 2024 NHL Draft.

McDonagh was more than solid for Nashville in 2023-24, tallying 32 points while leading them into the playoffs, and with the hope of one more Stanley Cup run, it appears Tampa Bay are loading up on veterans once more.
