This week the Nashville Predators held their 2021 Development Camp at Centennial Sportsplex. The roster of fourteen forwards, eight defenders, and four goalies spent four days in meetings, as well as on- and off-ice workouts.
When the development camp roster was released, several names immediately jumped out as players with potential to crack the Predators roster this season. Both defender David Farrance and forward Cole Smith briefly saw NHL ice time last season, and forward Phillip Tomasino impressed the Predators in his time with the Chicago Wolves last year. Development camp was also a chance to see what the 2021 draftees bring to the ice.
