The Nashville Predators took the Stanley Cup-winning Chicago Blackhawks to six games in the first round of the 2015 playoffs, but they were missing Shea Weber for most of that series. That has to lead to “what if” scenarios playing in some fans heads, but the silver lining is that the subluxed kneecap that prevented Weber from playing beyond Game 2 shouldn’t be an issue going forward.

The top-tier defenseman “feels good” as he awaits the start of training camp.

“It’s exciting to be back,” Weber told the Predators’ website. “As more and more guys roll in here, it’s just going to get more exciting and feel like we’re ready to go for the season. It’s good seeing familiar faces and try to get back into a routine.”

As for what could have been, Weber admits to thinking about that over the course of an offseason that was far longer than Nashville had hoped. At the end of the day, Weber sees it as a source of motivation and confidence.

“We know we’re capable of doing anything we put our minds to, but we also can’t take our foot off the gas,” he said.
