Nashville Predators general manager Chris McFarland makes the second trade of his early tenure as the Predators have acquired forwards Jack Drury and Chase Bradley, along with a third-round pick in the 2029 NHL Draft, from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for forwards Zach L'Heureux and Fedor Svechkov.
McFarland's second offseason trade comes with his prior employer after the franchise acquired forward Ross Colton and goalie Isak Posch from the Avs last week.
Zachary L'Heureux was drafted by the Predators with the No.

The left winger scored nine goals and had 11 assists during his time in Nashville.
Fedor Scechkov was drafted by the Predators with the No.
19 pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and made his debut in November 2024.
