Team Identity
Veteran-star disappointment · Stamkos-era reset
Steven Stamkos crossed 1,200 career points and is closing in on 600 career goals, but Nashville missed the playoffs again as the big-money offseason from 2024 (Stamkos, Marchessault, Skjei) continued to underwhelm. Filip Forsberg remains elite when healthy. Roman Josi and the back end finally showed their age, a tough pivot is coming.
