New General Manager Barry Trotz shocked many in Nashville as word spread on Friday that the Nashville Predators were buying out Matt Duchene's remaining contract. On today's Locked On Predators podcast, we take a look at the buy out and review the other big moves Trotz made over the weekend. The Predators signed Ryan O'Reilly, Luke Schenn, and Gustav Nyquist and re-signed Cody Glass and Alexandre Carrier. But what happened with Matt Duchene? We'll break down the financial repercussions of buying out Duchene's contract and take a look back at his four seasons in Nashville. We'll share to words that may explain why Matt Duchene didn't fit into the Predators' reset going forward and hear from Barry Trotz on the importance of tweaking the locker room culture. While it is easy to point the finger at Duchene's contract or statistics or locker room leadership, could the decision to move on from Dutchy really be about something else entirely?
