For yet another year, the Nashville Predators are coming up on the regular season with high expectations to be one of the top Stanley Cup contenders. We got their top line to thank for that, with Ryan Johansen being a major part of that at center. He’s become a mastermind at distributing the puck and setting up teammates.
As the Predators remain a top contender, it’s imperative that their top line stays elite. There are question marks and things to be sorted out behind them, but we can be pretty certain that Johansen and the top line will continue to be very productive.
