Many Nashville Predators fans expected Eeli Tolvanen to be on the roster from the very first game. His performance in the KHL last season had us all excited about his potential. We didn’t think it would take long before Tolvanen was in Nashville & scoring goals on a regular basis. We had to wait for a little bit, as Tolvanen was sent to Nashville’s AHL affiliate in Milwaukee pretty early on in training camp.
People were disappointed at first, but it was what it was. As it turned out, Tolvanen had some early hiccups in Milwaukee and didn’t exactly light the world on fire.
