The NHL Draft is just over two weeks away, and for the Nashville Predators, it is the biggest one they have had in a decade, and maybe more. It is not just because the event is being held in their building, but because of the situation they are in as an organization.
The Nashville Predators have experienced so much turnover of players in the past few months, and because of it, they have a volume of picks that they haven’t had since 2003 when they made 13 picks, including Ryan Suter in the first round.
With Barry Trotz taking over for David Poile, the Predators have thirteen picks this year alone, and a total of 16 over the next two years after, most of which are in the earlier rounds.
