Uncover the Shocking Draft Blunders and Hidden Gems Unveiled for Every NHL Team This Decade
Nashville Predators
Best: Juuso Parssinen
There is nothing of exceptional quality in the past decade of Predators drafting, which speaks volumes about the franchise’s current state. Maybe 2023 first-round defenseman Tanner Molendyk has stardom in his future. In the meantime, we’ll go with the value of Parssinen as a 2019 seventh-round pick. He turned into an NHL player and the Preds flipped him for a third-round pick and a prospect.
Worst: Eeli Tolvanen
Tolvanen wins because of the disappointment relative to the hype, because former Preds GM David Poile let him go for nothing, and because nine spots later in 2017, Jason Robertson went to the Dallas Stars. Yes, everyone missed on how good Robertson would become. But imagine how different things might have been for the Preds in the early 2020s. — Joe Rexrode
