Season-ending injury confirmed: Suffered a severe upper-body injury (concussion) from a hit on February 25, sidelining him for the remainder of the 2024–25 season

• During recovery, he was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), though team management expects him back for the 2025–26 campaign
• Fantasy buzz suggests the Predators will likely keep him out through season’s end to preserve draft positioning

🔄 Filip Forsberg

• Re-signed long-term: Agreed to an eight-year extension worth $68M last July, keeping him in Nashville through 2029–30.
• Offensive powerhouse: Leads the franchise in goals (318) and power-play goals (85)—more than both Josi and Weber
• Recently logged a 4-point game and has been pivotal in the team’s scoring streaks .

🧊 Shea Weber

• Retired from on-ice play: Officially stopped playing in 2016.
• His contract rights have been traded multiple times (Canadiens → Golden Knights → Coyotes → Utah franchise → Blackhawks), but he’s not expected to return to NHL gameplay).

🔍 Rumor Rundown

1. No rumored trade chatter involving Forsberg or Josi—Forsberg is locked in long-term, while Josi is focused on recovery.
2. Weber remains a contract asset only; there are no reports suggesting an NHL comeback or rumor of his playing return.
3. Team direction: With Josi out and the Predators sitting at the bottom of the standings, Nashville seems positioned to tank, possibly reshaping its roster around Forsberg and its youth.

🔮 Outlook & Speculation

• Short-term: Josi is clearly shelved for now; his NHL future depends on recovery to avoid long-term POTS complications.
• Forsberg remains the offensive anchor, with no trade whispers—his extension cements his role in franchise rebuilding.
• Weber’s involvement is purely a salary-cap maneuver; fans shouldn’t expect his return to play.
