The Nashville Predators are beginning their season this week and are ranked higher in the preseason rankings than they have been in a long time. Let’s face it, Power Rankings are not worth a lot when it comes time to play the games. I’m sure that the Carolina Hurricanes aren’t looking to see if the Predators are ranked higher than they are before opening night.
It is nice, however, to take the pulse of how the rest of the hockey world is looking at the Predators. It gives you better sense too of how high your hopes should be this season.
