Longtime Nashville Predators GM David Poile recently went on the record to roast two of his players after being swept by the Colorado Avalanche.

After their season ended early thanks to MacKinnon and his crew, Nashville GM David Poile was unhappy with the performanxes of two of his players, Luke Kunin and Eeli Tolvanen.

Nashville reporter Justin Bradford writes on twitter that Poile believes,

"Kunin and Tolvanen didn't live up to our or their expectations."



Luke Kunin, 24 was a first round pick, 15th overall by the Wild back in 2016. At 6'0 and as a center, his career in Nashville has since been turbulent.

He had 13 goals and 9 assists for 22 points in 82 games in the regular season. This playoffs, he had 1 assist in the four games Nashville played.

Tolvanen on the other hand, was taken 30th in 2017 by Nashville. In two seasons with the team, he has 47 points in 119 NHL games. He had just 1 goal in three playoff appearances this year.

David Poile is actually the winningest general manager in NHL history, with 1,320 wins. The Preds offseason will be a busy one. They still need to resign Forsberg who may request upwards of 10 million dollars.
