It’s time for our annual countdown of the best 25 Nashville Predators players under 25 years old.
This is not only a tradition here at OTF, but is also something that you might see at many other SBNation NHL blogs. The premise is simple: rank the 25 best players who have not yet reached their 25th birthday (as of August 1st, 2017).
NAME: Emil Pettersson
POSITION: Center (LH)
2016-17 STATS: Skelleftea AIK (SHL)
As you may remember, Pettersson’s signing was a part of David Poile’s off-season moves before the off-season even began (humble brag that the Preds were playing hockey later than almost everyone).
