The 2023 NHL Entry Draft is under three weeks away, and the host Nashville Predators are picking 15th overall, their highest since 2020 when they selected Yaroslav Askarov at No.11.
Incoming General Manager Barry Trotz is heading into his first draft and has a load of picks with 13 total, so it’s safe to say his draft team will be busy on the phones looking to make trades and move up and down the draft order.
As for the 15th pick that the Predators currently have, it’s fathomable that they could try to move up from that pick to get a player they really want.
