The Nashville Predators do their best to assemble a team that they think is capable of going the distance and bringing a Stanely Cup to Nashville. In a recent article, The Sportster highlighted what they thought was the worst player on every NHL team. For the Predators, that player was center Cody Bass.
In 69 NHL games, Bass sports 5 points, 41 shots on goal (less than one shot per game), and an average time on ice of 6:49. So why exactly do the Preds keep him on the roster? One potential reason his ability to throw his body around and make his presence felt, even if that presence is short-lived.
