If you’ve been a diligent observer of Nashville Predators Twitter as of late, you will notice a theme whenever the name Egor Afanasyev is mentioned.
That’s right, folks, not even one game into his NHL career, and Afanasyev has been dubbed by Preds Twitter as “EGOAT.” Clever, fairly original, and hopefully a moniker the 20-year-old prospect hailing from Tver, Russia, can live up to.
