Former Nashville Predators general manager David Poile and former defensemen and captain Shea Weber have been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Poile will join the Hall as a builder, along with Colin Campbell, while Shea Weber will join as a player along with Pavel Datsyuk, Jeremy Roenick, Natalie Darwitz, and Krissy Wendell-Pohl.
The first general manager in franchise history, Poile led the Predators for 25 seasons starting in 1997. Before joining Nashville, he was with the Washington Capitals from 1982 until 1997. He is the only general manager to lead two separate clubs for 1,000 games and to 500 wins, and he became the winningest GM in NHL history with his 1,320th victory during the 2017-18 season.
During his tenure as general manager, the Predators made the playoffs 15 times, including eight straight seasons between 2015 and 2022. They made the Stanley Cup Final once (2017) and won the Presidents' Trophy once (2018).
Poile retired in 2023, with Barry Trotz taking over the position.
Weber was drafted in the second round of the 2003 NHL Draft. He played 763 games for the Predators, scoring 166 goals and recording 277 assists. He was traded to Montreal in 2016, where he played five more seasons with the Canadiens.
Weber was named captain of the Predators in 2010, a role that was passed to Mike Fisher in 2016.
Poile and Weber are the first two members of the Nashville Predators organization to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The induction ceremony will take place on Friday, Nov. 8.
