The Predators have lost their first-round pick in a trade three (technically four) times in their history.
We're going to be hammering home the fact that the Predators won't be selecting a player in the first round this year, but this isn't the first time that's happened.
Over the years, Nashville has sat out the first round three times because of trading away their first pick, and almost made it a fourth. Sometimes this has turned out better than others, sometimes it didn't go very well at all until it came around again in an indirect way.
