Pinnacle Financial Partners President and CEO Terry Turner turned Thursday to the Wayne Gretzky chestnut about looking to “skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been” in explaining his team’s planned move to downtown’s Nashville Yards development.

“We do desire to be where the best place is,” Turner told the Post in talking about the news that Pinnacle will anchor a 34-story tower in the 18-acre Nashville Yards project being built by Southwest Value Partners.
