It’s time for our annual countdown of the best 25 Nashville Predators players under 25 years old!
This is not only a tradition here at OTF, but is also something that you might see at many other SBNation NHL blogs. The premise is simple: rank the 25 best players who have not yet reached their 25th birthday (as of August 1st, 2018).
NAME: Frederic Allard
POSITION: Defenseman
AGE: 20
ACQUIRED: Round 3 - 78th overall - 2016
2017-18 STATS: Milwaukee Admirals [AHL]
2018-19 TEAM: Milwaukee Admirals [AHL]
Allard was taken 31 picks after Sam Girard in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, and - at the time - I was ecstatic.
