NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Predators general manager David Poile picked up the option Friday on coach Barry Trotz and his assistants for next season as a reward for the best campaign in franchise history.

The Predators responded with 110 points and finished third in the NHL with a record 51 victories.
