23. Colin Wilson

Colin Wilson was an incredible player at Boston University, nominated for the Hobey Baker, and a leader on their 2009 National Championship Team.

Wilson, the Seventh Overall Pick in 2008, left the Terriers after the Frozen Four for the NHL.  He wasn't the sniper he was at BU, but Wilson provided solid play to the Predators, mainly on the third line.  Playing with Nashville until 2017, Wilson had five 30-Point years, and his clean play kept him from costly penalties.

Wilson scored 237 Points in 502 Games for the Preds.

22. Marek Zidlicky

Unable to come to terms with the team that drafted him with the last pick of the Seventh Round of the 2001 Draft, Marek Zidlicky was one of three players that arrived in Nashville from the New York Rangers in exchange for Goalie Mike Dunham.  Zidlicky proved to be the steal of the transaction.

The Czechoslovakian Defenseman had his best season as an NHL rookie, but he was already 26 and hardly inexperienced.  Zidlicky had 53 Points, which would be his career-high, and he followed that with two more seasons as a Predator, where he cracked 40 Points.  

After 2007-08, Zidlicky was traded to Minnesota.  With the Predators, Zidlicky scored 175 Points in 307 Games.

16. Ryan Johansen

Traded from Columbus during the 2015/16 Season, Center, Ryan Johansen finished the split year with 60 Points, the third straight campaign where he scored at least 60.

Johansen kept up that consistency, scoring 61 Points in 2016-17, and while he was injured in the playoffs, his contributions were part of the reason they made the Finals that year.  After another good year (15-39-54), Johansen had his best year to date with the Predators, netting 64 Points, with a career-high 50 Assists.

In 2019-20 and 2020-21,Johansen's play and ice time dropped off(58 Points in 116 Games), but last season he was healthy and efficient, scoring 63 Points with his 26 Goals being his highest tally since 2013-13 when he was a Blue Jacket.  Johansen played another year with the Predators before he was traded to the Colorado Avalanche, leaving behind 362 Points in Music City.

46. Mike Cammalleri

Showing off solid offensive versatility in his career, Mike Cammalleri’s long career began in Los Angeles, debuting in 2002, but cementing himself as a starting NHL forward in 2005, where he had 55 Points in his first full season in hockey’s premier league.

Cammalleri followed this with one of his best seasons, netting 80 Points with a career-best 46 Assists.  He earned plenty of power play time over this era, and though Los Angeles was not a competitive team, Cammalleri was a significant component of the success that they did have.  

He was traded to Calgary in 2008 and returned as a Free Agent nine years later, albeit for a brief time before he was traded to Edmonton.  Cammalleri would tabulate 212 Points in 298 Games as a King.
