Another game, another injury for the Nashville Predators. This time, at least, the defense isn’t too beaten up. Unfortunately, it means that center Nick Bonino is walking around in an ankle brace after a summer of rehabbing a broken leg. The worst part is that Bonino was brought in to make sure that this exact situation didn’t happen. But here we are.
The Nashville Predators are in a precarious situation, in fact. They have centers dominating at the AHL level who deserve time in the NHL, a few options to trade for, or another player who currently sits as a healthy scratch.
