Predators GM David Poile said part of the reason for Nashville's elimination was the team suspensions of Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn for Game 3. "It's a piece of it," Poile said. "When you add up all things, you can probably come to some ending that this is why we are where we are." Radulov and Kostitsyn created a distraction by reportedly violating curfew. Radulov is a restricted free agent, but it's not clear if he'll be back in Nashville next season.
