The Nashville Predators left the 2020 NHL Draft with seven new prospects in their organization, although it wasn’t at the picks they went into the week with. A couple of day two trades saw Nashville end up selecting at 11, 42, 73, 101, 202, and 209th overall.
So who did Nashville add to their pipeline, what’s there to like and not like about their games, and what do their development paths look like? I answer those questions and more about three of those picks below in part one of my 2020 NHL Entry Draft breakdown.
Luke Reid - 166th Overall (Round 6)
Defender - Chicago Steel (USHL) - Geneva, Illinois
Missing eligibility for the 2019 NHL Entry Draft by just 11 days, Luke Reid has spent the last two seasons with the USHL’s Chicago Steel, scoring 19 points in each year.
