It’s time for our annual countdown of the best 25 Nashville Predators players under 25 years old.
This is not only a tradition here at OTF, but is also something that you might see at many other SBNation NHL blogs. The premise is simple: rank the 25 best players who have not yet reached their 25th birthday (as of August 1st, 2017).
NAME: Miikka Salomaki
POSITION: Winger (LH)
Salomaki makes an interesting case to be on this list. The fourth-line winger didn’t play much hockey at all this past season—only five games in the NHL and nine games total, due to an undisclosed injury.
