Predators' Juuso Parssinen: Day-to-day with lower-body injury
Parssinen missed Friday's practice and Saturday's scrimmage because of a lower-body injury, Emma Lingan of the Predators' official site reports.
Parssinen is regarded as day-to-day. He had six goals and 25 points in 45 contests with the Predators in 2022-23. When Parssinen's healthy, he's likely to serve in a middle-six capacity and receive some power-play ice time.

Predators' Cole Smith: Ready for training camp
Smith (upper body) is healthy for training camp, Nick Kieser of Nashville Hockey Now reported Wednesday
Smith missed the last seven games of the 2022-23 campaign. The 27-year-old established himself as a full-time NHLer with 17 points in 69 outings last season. If he can maintain his roster spot to begin 2023-24, Smith is projected to be a bottom-six fixture.

Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Good to go
Carrier (upper body) practiced with Group B in Thursday's first on-ice practice session at Predators training camp, Nick Kieser of Nashville Hockey Now reports.
Carrier missed most of the latter half of the campaign in 2022-23. He was limited to just nine points, 67 blocked shots and 57 hits over 43 contests, dropping from a top-pairing role in 2021-22 to a fringe role due to his injuries. He'll have to earn his spot back in 2023-24, especially following the addition of Luke Schenn in free agency.

Lauzon (upper body) practiced with Group B during Thursday's on-ice session to begin Predators training camp, Nick Kieser of Nashville Hockey Now reports.

Predators' Roman Josi: Starts training camp healthy
Josi (concussion) was a full participant for Nashville's first day of training camp Thursday, per John Glennon of NHL.com.
Josi was unavailable for Nashville's final 15 contests of the 2022-23 campaign after suffering a concussion during a contest versus Winnipeg on March 18. Now that Josi's healthy, he should resume his role as Nashville's top defenseman. He had 18 goals and 59 points in 67 contests last season.

Predators' Filip Forsberg: Back to full health
Forsberg (upper body) is fully recovered after missing the final 32 games of the 2022-23 season, Jillian Jelnick of Fox 17 WZTV Nashville reports.
Forsberg told Fox 17 that he's eager to get back on the ice after being limited to just 50 appearances last season. Despite his lengthy absence, the 29-year-old forward managed to finish second on the Predators with 19 goals and ranked fourth on the team with 42 points. If he can stay healthier in 2023-24, Forsberg has plenty of bounce-back potential.

Predators' Denis Gurianov: Inks one-year deal with Nashville
Gurianov agreed to a one-year, $850,000 contract with Nashville on Tuesday.
Gurianov became an unrestricted free agent after the Canadiens decided not to give him a qualifying offer. He posted seven goals, 17 points and 116 shots on net in 66 games between Montreal and Dallas last season. Gurianov will provide some depth to Nashville's bottom-six forward group in 2023-24.

Predators' Kalan Lind: Signs entry-level deal
Lind signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Predators on Thursday, per CapFriendly.
Lind was selected in the second round of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft after posting 44 points in 43 games with WHL Red Deer. The 18-year-old winger also boasts a strong physical game and decent speed -- he projects to emerge as a bottom-six NHLer in a few years.

Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Heading to Nashville
O'Reilly signed a four-year, $18 million contract with the Predators on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
O'Reilly is coming off a down year offensively, posting 30 points (16 goals, 14 assists) in 53 games between the Blues and the Maple Leafs. Still, the 32-year-old center was able to secure a long-term deal with an AAV of $4.5 million. Following Matt Duchene's release and the trade of Ryan Johansen, O'Reilly is a good bet to step in as Nashville's first-line center this season.

Predators' Luke Schenn: Signing with Nashville
Schenn signed a three-year deal with the Predators on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
The deal is expected to carry an AAV of $2.75 million. The 33-year-old Schenn tied his career high with 22 points (four goals, 18 assists) in 70 games last season between Vancouver and Toronto. With some uncertainty on Nashville's blue line, Schenn should get the chance to compete for a top-four spot.
