In the second segment, Nashville Assistant General Manager Paul Fenton joins us and talks about the upcoming battles in training camp, why the Preds made Magnus Hellberg the first goalie taken at the 2011 NHL Draft despite others being ranked higher, the roller coaster ride of the franchise’s first 13-years and, of course, Brent Peterson’s efforts to help find a cure for Parkinsons.

That being said, we couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with them on The 303:30.

Jeremy K. Gover — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 18:20:14 +0000

In this episode of The 303:30, we bring you the triumphant return of the 303:30 podcast! We react to the free agency frenzy of the past few days, what the Cody Franson/Matthew Lombardi trade could mean for the Nashville Predators and, of course, some reaction about Development Camp.

Does Ryan Ellis, Mattias Ekholm or Roman Josi have an inside track for Franson’s vacated defensive spot? Does the Franson trade mean a big name forward is on his way into Music City or does it just mean the Preds can now offer Shea Weber top money? Was buying out JP Dumont the right decision? All that and more in today’s episode!
