David Poile is the only general manager in Nashville Predators‘ history, and he has been one of the best in the game since taking over. While the majority of his work has been good, he has not been immune to mistakes.
There are five contracts in the team’s history that stand out for mostly wrong reasons. Say what you will about Poile not leading the Predators to a Stanley Cup, but some of these five were tough to list, which indicates that he has generally been careful when putting pen to paper.
