Nashville Predators defensemen history really started back with Kimmo Timonen. It has progressed through players like Dan Hamhuis and All-Stars Ryan Suter and Shea Weber.
After the recent trade for P.K. Subban, they have another of the top defensemen in the National Hockey League. One d-man that sometimes has been slightly overshadowed, though, is Roman Josi.
Since being chosen in the second round, 38th overall by the Nashville Predators in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, Josi has risen in the eyes of folks in the know to where he could be as good as any of his predecessors.
