The Nashville Predators have one of the best defensive units in the NHL. Last season’s Stanley Cup Playoffs showed the whole world just how good that group really is. One of those players who easily stood out was Ryan Ellis. It was not just because of his offensive execution, though. It was more so because of the way he helped lead his team when they needed someone to step up.
Ryan Ellis has always been considered a good leader while in Nashville. But he developed into an even greater leader during last years playoffs. However, you cannot just become a leader over night.
