LW Jordin Tootoo is someone the Predators would like to have back. When asked if he would like Tootoo to return, general manager David Poile said, "Certainly." Tootoo set a career high last season with 30 points. He had issues cracking the playoff lineup after Nashville made several moves around the trade deadline that boosted forward depth. Tootoo played in three playoff games. "His cheese got moved in the wrong direction," Poile said. "He got to play less and less and then he got out of the lineup. He's unrestricted, so he controls what he wants to do. More than him needing to hear from us, we need to hear from him."
