4 days until the season opener…


Jayson More: 1999 (Top Left), Mark Eaton: 2001 – 2006 (Top Middle), Vitaly Vishnevski: 2007 (Top Right), Ville Koistinen: 2008 – 2009 (Bottom Left), Teemu Laakso: 2010 (Bottom Middle), Cody Franson: 2011 (Bottom Right), Ryan Ellis: 2013 – 2021 (2nd Slide).

Jayson More was drafted 10th overall by the New York Rangers in 1987. He played 18 games for the Preds, tallying 2 assists.

Mark Eaton went undrafted and played 286 games for the Preds, scoring 15 goals and 30 assists.

Vitaly Vishnevski was drafted 5th overall by the Anaheim Ducks in 1998. He played 15 games for Nashville, tallying an assist.

Ville Koistinen went undrafted and played 86 games for the Preds, scoring 7 goals and 21 assists.

Teemu Laakso was drafted 78th overall by the Nashville Predators in 2005 and played 17 games.

Cody Franson was drafted 79th overall by the Nashville Predators in 2005. He played 164 games for Nashville, scoring 15 goals and 39 assists.

Ryan Ellis was drafted 11th overall by the Nashville Predators in 2009. He played 566 games for Nashville, scoring 76 goals and tallying 199 assists for a total 275 points. Ryan Ellis will be sorely missed and I genuinely hope he is able to recover or at least improve his current condition.
