Nashville Predators: Who Will Round Out The Defense?
The Nashville Predators enhanced their defense with the addition of Alexei Emelin, but who’s his partner? Irwin, Weber, or Bitetto?

Anthony Bitetto, Matt Irwin, and Yannick Weber are the likely players to play in rotation for that 6th spot on defense. All are older than 25, so no one is growing into the NHL anymore. What you see is what the Nashville Predators are going to get. So let’s see who’s the best.
