Notes by the author:

This will be a BeAGM dynasty. This dynasty will focus on the Nashville Predators. But there will be a side story in this dynasty. Instead of playing BeAPro, I will follow a created player in this dynasty.

There will be 20 game updates, where there will be League standings, Player stats, League leaders and roster changes (only Nashville). The most notable news around the NHL will also be reported.

Every month a report will be given on the created player. This report will give you his stats and an update on his play with the Nashville Predators.

I will try to play all of my games when possible. Backup goalies will only play in back-to-back games (unless circumstances are different: tandem).

The reports and updates will have a different look than in previous dynasties. I hope you will like this one. Feel free to comment (I will try to answer as much as possible)!

David Poile steps down after many years of service for the Nashville Predators.

In a press conference in Nashville, the Nashville Predator General Manager David Poile announced his retirement. Poile, who is 63 years old, did not have enough motivation to continue his GM carreer in the NHL. After the last CBA previous season, Poile wasn't really motivated to give it all. Nashville regrets Poile's decision, but will move on.

After only 2 weeks they signed a new General Manager. The new manager is Jo Loonstra from New York. Loonstra has his origins in the Netherlands (Europe), but lived his whole live in NY. His hockey carreer is mostly amateur based. His coaching and GM carreer has been in Europe (the Netherlands, Germany, Finland and Russia). Loonstra will be a long shot for the Predators in a time where Nashville needs to find their way up and back to the playoffs.

Nashville (Tennessee), September 2013.

The Nashville Predators have signed defenseman Maus Jansen to a try-out contract. Jansen will report to the Predator's training camp where he will try to earn a full time NHL contract. The Dutch defenseman was scouted at a youth tournament and Nasville kept an eye on him for the previous 3 years. GM Loonstra said that it will be hard for Jansen to stay at Nashville, but he will have his chance. If Jansen should not earn his NHL contract, he will probably be given a AHL contract and be assigned to the Milwaukee Admirals.

Jansen is a 2 way defenseman, who has played hockey in Europe his whole life. Jansen was a member of the Nijmegen Devils in Nijmegen (the Netherlands).

And Seb steps up to the plate and elects to one-up all of us with his creative ideas.

I think it's due to the legalization of Marijuana in his homeland, but don't quote me on that.

Love the use of the Predators in this one. Look forward to your progress on the season, and wouldn't mind seeing America's Team take home the Stanley Cup. Per the requirements of OS Hockey Dynasties, I must state that I will be following this one. Good luck.

Pre Season Nashville Predators 2013 / 2014:

Training camp and pre season

GM Loonstra and coach Trotz started the training camp with a couple of invitees. They had 7 rookies in their starting roster. The following guys were invited to Nashville:

#51 center Austin Watson (TWF, 75, 4 Yellow), Right, USA.
#18 right wing Colton Sissons (TWF, 61, 3½ Green), Right, CAN.
#34 center Brendan Leipsic (SNP, 60, 3½ Yellow), Left, CAN.
#31 left wing Joshua Shalla (TWF, 64, 3½ yellow), Left, CAN.
#12 defenseman Mattias Ekholm (TWD, 69, 3½ yellow), Left, SWE.
#9 right wing Filip Forsberg (PLY, 78, 4½ yellow), Right, SWE.
#76 defensman Maus Jansen (TWD, 76, 3½ yellow), Left, NED.

They got experience in the pre season and training camp. They played their games and did good. But after considering all options, GM Loonstra decided to sent back 5 of the 7 invitees. Only Forsberg and Jansen stayed in the NHL. Forsberg was already signed and Jansen will get his professional contract soon.

Pre season did not go as well as hoped. There were no injuries. But the results could have been better. Coach Trotz wasn't really satisfied with a record of 2-4-0, but it was still pre season.

Transactions

Nashville started with 49 players on their roster and was planning to give Jansen a contract. GM Loonstra wanted to make room for players and CAP space. He took a good look at his roster and at the end of his roster made his moves.

NSH acquired RW B.McGrattan (68, ENF)
