Instability in Nashville? Not on the ice…

Many preseason predictions put the Nashville Predators out of the playoffs due in part to “franchise instability.” On the ice, however, there may not be a more stable team in the entire NHL, as John Glennon writes in the Tennessean:
Since new ownership took over last December, 10 players — almost half of the current roster — have signed new multiyear contracts with the Predators, with many choosing to forego what likely would have been bigger offers on the free agent market.
The players cite locker-room chemistry, long-term relationships with coaches and management, an affinity for the city and, ironically enough, stability, as some of the reasons for wanting to sticking around.
And as shown here earlier today, it’s not like Alexander Radulov is a good indicator for the typical Russian player’s attitude.
