Ryan O’Reilly injury update: Recent news on Predators trade chip after taking stick to face vs. Blue Jackets

While the Predators are just four points out of a playoff spot, Nashville could still look to trade veterans like Ryan O’Reilly and Steven Stamkos. O’Reilly is signed through the end of the 2026–27 season, increasing his value as a player the team would get for two playoff runs.

However, O’Reilly reportedly enjoys Nashville and would like to remain with the team for a playoff chase.
