This was the team's first season without David Poile as general manager, following his retirement on June 30, 2023, although he still currently remains with the organization as a creative consultant.[2] Poile was previously the only general manager in team history and retired as both the longest tenured and winningest general manager in team history.[3] On April 9, 2024, the Predators clinched a playoff berth following a 4–3 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets.[4] In the Playoffs, the Predators faced the Vancouver Canucks, losing in six games.[5]
