The debate is pretty set in stone that Pekka Rinne is the best player in the 25-year history of the Nashville Predators, but who comes runner-up to the franchise G.O.A.T?
Recently I’ve been trying to compile my list of the top-20 players in Nashville Predators history, and after Rinne, the list quickly became a whole debate with myself on where to place players. It starts immediately at No.2 for me after Rinne.
There’s no argument that Rinne sits at the top. Simply put, if Rinne never comes through as an eighth-round draft pick and becomes the franchise changer in net, who knows if the Predators would’ve even stayed in Nashville.
