And, just like that, the 2017 NHL Entry Draft is completed. With six selections overall, the Nashville Predators made the most of their opportunities. And, while their largest splash came at the end of the opening round, selecting a player in Eeli Tolvaven, General Manager David Poile and company continued to impress.
In the second round, the Predators selected Grant Mismash, a center on the US National Development Program in 2016-17. He finished the season tied for the team lead in points with 61, including 26 goals in 56 games. Mismash pushed the US Under-18 team to international gold with eight points in seven games.
