It was their tenth season in the National Hockey League. The 2007 off-season was dominated by the attempted purchase of the Predators by Canadian businessman Jim Balsillie,[1] who signed a letter of intent to purchase the team for at least $220 million.[2] The attempted sale led to widespread speculation that Balsillie intended to relocate the team to Hamilton, Ontario, if the Predators failed to reach a 14,000 paid average attendance in 2007–08, allowing the team to break its lease.[3] Balsillie had already entered negotiations on a lease at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton.[4] Despite calling the negotiations a "contingency plan," Balsillie petitioned the NHL to decide on his ability to relocate the franchise at the same time the NHL Board of Governors voted on his purchase of the team.[5] However, the deal was ended by Predators Owner Craig Leipold on June 22, as he informed the NHL that he was pulling out of the agreement due to a lack of a finalized sale agreement and over concerns that Balsillie would relocate the team to Hamilton.[6] On August 1, a group led by local businessman David Freeman issued a letter of intent to purchase the Predators.[7] The sale was approved by the Board of Governors on November 29.[8] In January, it was revealed that former Predators Owner Craig Leipold was purchasing the majority share in the Minnesota Wild.[9] Key dates prior to the start of the season: - The 2007 NHL Entry Draft took place in Columbus, Ohio, on June 22–23.
- The free agency period began on July 1.
{{TOClimit|limit=2}}Regular seasonOn November 15, 2007, Martin Erat scored just 19 seconds into the overtime period to give the Predators a 5–4 home win over the Chicago Blackhawks.[10] The Thrashers' Marian Hossa would tie that mark in overtime on December 23, 2007, in a 3–2 Atlanta road win over the St. Louis Blues.[11] Both goals would prove to be the fastest overtime goals scored during the 2007–08 regular season.[12] Divisional standings{{2007–08 NHL Central Division standings|team=NSH}}Conference standings{{2007–08 NHL Western Conference standings|team=NSH}}Game logOctoberRecord: 4–7–0; Home: 4–2–0; Road: 0–5–0 # | Date | Visitor | Score | Home | OT | Decision | Attendance | Record | Pts | 1 | October 4 | Colorado | 0 – 4 | Nashville | Mason | 16,363 | 1–0–0 | 2 | 2 | October 6 | Dallas | 1 – 5 | Nashville | Mason | 13,079 | 2–0–0 | 4 | 3 | October 10 | Nashville | 1 – 4 | St. Louis | Mason | 19,150 | 2–1–0 | 4 | 4 | October 11 | Phoenix | 6 – 3 | Nashville | Mason | 12,155 | 2–2–0 | 4 | 5 | October 13 | Calgary | 7 – 4 | Nashville | Mason | 13,152 | 2–3–0 | 4 | 6 | October 17 | Nashville | 1 – 3 | Anaheim | Mason | 17,174 | 2–4–0 | 4 | 7 | October 20 | Nashville | 0 – 3 | San Jose | Mason | 17,496 | 2–5–0 | 4 | 8 | October 23 | Nashville | 0 – 6 | Los Angeles | Mason | 14,026 | 2–6–0 | 4 | 9 | October 25 | Atlanta | 0 – 3 | Nashville | Ellis | 13,383 | 3–6–0 | 6 | 10 | October 27 | Florida | 3 – 4 | Nashville | Ellis | 15,767 | 4–6–0 | 8 | 11 | October 30 | Nashville | 1 – 5 | Calgary | Mason | 19,289 | 4–7–0 | 8 |
