Nashville, Tenn. (December 1, 2017) - Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced Friday that Jeff Kealty - formerly the team's Chief Amateur Scout - has been promoted to Director of Player Personnel.
Kealty, who is in his 17th season with the Predators franchise, will assist Poile and Assistant General Manager Paul Fenton on all player personnel decisions in addition to the duties he is already responsible for as Chief Amateur Scout.
"Jeff has been with the franchise since our early years, and our growth and success in the draft and beyond is a reflection of him and his staff," Poile said. "Given his eye for talent, it is appropriate for Jeff to assume a larger role in the hockey operations department while still managing amateur scouting and the draft. We look forward to his insight on all player personnel decisions from this point forward."
