The Nashville Predators have a ton of interesting players who aren't in the NHL. This year could be the one where that changes for a lot of them. Here is who we really want to see during the year for the 2025-2026 Nashville Predators.
Apologies to my guy Jordan Manning, (he's great, read his stuff), but an Adam Wilsby/Nick Blankenburg third pairing does nothing for me, and probably not much for the majority of Predators fans. Molendyk has aged out of juniors, but isn't exactly the kind of player you want put into the AHL.
A player with Molendyk's talent and pedigree needs to be in the NHL, and Wilsby has a two-way deal.
