We are just two weeks away from the start of the 2019 NHL Draft in Vancouver, scouts are doing their final evaluations for the draft class. The NHL Draft is always sort of a crapshoot after the first few picks, which is why there are so many projections about who the Nashville Predators will take in the 1st round at #24.
However, according to NHL.com, their latest mock draft has the Predators taking Egor Afanasyev at #24. Afanasyev is an 18-year old, 6’4 200 lb center from Russia, who has spent the last two seasons in the USHL with the Muskegon Lumberjacks.
