J.P. Dumont played his first two NHL years with Chicago, where he was a youngster and saw minimal ice time.  Dumont was then traded to Buffalo, a team he was with for five years, but is arguably the organization he is most commonly associated with.  After Buffalo, Dumont signed with Nashville, the team he played his last five years with, and the team, we will argue, was where he was at his NHL best.

Dumont’s first season in Nashville (2006-07) would see the Right Wing score 66 Points, a record for him at the time.  He broke that with 72 Points the following year, followed by another impressive season with 65 Points.

His last season with the Predators was disappointing, a 19-Point year that yielded Nashville buying out his contract.  Dupont never returned to the NHL, as he finished his career in Europe.  He would score 267 Points with Nashville.

The fourth NHL team of Steve Sullivan’s career was the Nashville Predators, a team he joined during his ninth year (2003-04).  Sullivan finished that year strong, scoring 30 Points in 24 Games, bringing his total to 73 for the season, a number that would be his second-best ever.

Following the lockout year (2004-05), Sullivan had two more 60 Point seasons, the latter of which was cut short due to a severe back injury so bad that he missed the entire 2007-08 Season.  Sullivan returned in 2008-09, netting 51 Points in a comeback year that secured him the Bill Masterton Award.  He played one more year with the Predators before he signed with Pittsburgh.

As a Predator, Sullivan had 263 Points in 317 Games.

Mike Dunham won the William M. Jennings Trophy as a rookie, but he was never going to get the lion's share of the goaltending duties for the team he won that award with.  How could he?  He was playing for the New Jersey Devils, who had Martin Brodeur.  With the growth of the NHL in Nashville, he had the starting opportunity as the Predators plucked him in the Expansion Draft.

In the first four years of Nashville's existence, Dunham was their primary netminder.  The Predators were a typical expansion team in that they lost more games than they won, but Dunham proved that he deserved the workload.  Dunham faced a barrage of shots due to the substandard Nashville defense, but he held his own, especially in the 2000-01 Season, where he was second in Save Percentage (.923) and had a strong 2.33 GAA.

The Predators traded Dunham to the Rangers during the 2002-03 season.  Although Dunham had a losing record, he performed well for the team.

From Sweden, Viktor Arvidsson made it to the Predators for six Games the year he was drafted (2014-15), and the Left Wing would emerge as one of the better penalty killers in club history.

Arvidsson had a mediocre sophomore year but broke out with back-to-back 61 Point seasons in 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively.  Leading the NHL in Short-Handed Goals (5) in the first of those two years, Arvidsson was a large part of Nashville's run to the Finals.

Arvidsson had a 34-Goal year in 2018-19, his best as a Predator, but he slumped afterward, as his next two years saw his Point tallies dip below 30 in both of them.

His career in Nashville ended when he was traded to the Kings in July of 2021.
