The Predators also have a number of players who could become unrestricted free agents at the end of June. Those include Peter Forsberg, Scott Hartnell, Paul Kariya and Kimmo Timonen. Predators General Manager David Poile said he expects to hold off on all contract talks for coaches and players until after the season. "I try to treat our players and head coach and assistant coaches all the same,'' Poile said. "We've got a few games left in the season and then the playoffs, so I think it's important everyone's focused. "We'll meet with everyone at the end of the season. There will be a lot more clarity at the end of the season than there is right now.''
