Whenever the 2020 NHL Entry Draft eventually occurs, the Nashville Predators will have an exciting opportunity to add to their pipeline with five picks in the first three rounds. That quantity of picks—pending any trades—allows a different degree of flexibility for the organization to take bigger swings at certain prospects.
One of those players could be Russian forward Marat Khusnutdinov of the MHL’s SKA-1946 club—one of this draft class’ younger skaters.
Previous profiles of entry draft prospects can be found above, as well as my initial top-31 ranking of eligible prospects. Over the next few weeks, I will release the second iteration of this ranking as it expands to 62 players.
