Craig Custance of the Sporting News interviews Barry Trotz about the formula for building a winning team in Nashville:

When a young player is drafted by the Nashville Predators, the chances of him playing for the Predators are pretty good… We’ve always believed in our assets and when we can acquire the Paul Kariyas and Peter Foresbers, we’ll go out and do it.  But our lifeblood and foundation of our club is really the draft and young guys.

The Preds are stocked with home-grown talent; looking at their current roster, 6 of the 7 defensemen have only played for Nashville at the NHL level.
