Chris Mason made his NHL debut in the 1998-99 Season, appearing in three games.  It took another two years before he played in another NHL contest, a single one in the 2000-01 campaign.  Mason signed with Florida in 2002 but never made it to their main roster and was claimed back by the organization a year later. He would finally see some serious action in the biggest hockey league in the world.

Mason was his backup in 2003-04 and 2005-06 (2004-05 was a lockout), but he was in between the pipes for 40 Games in 2006-07, posting a 2.38 GAA and 9.25 Save Percentage.  The following year, those numbers were lower, but he was elevated to the top Goalie in Nashville, appearing in 51 Games.  Mason was traded to St. Louis at season's end, but he returned as a Free Agent for one final season in 2012-13, appearing in 11 Games before retiring.

He had a record of 59-50-13 with the Predators with a 2.68 GAA.

Undrafted players generally don't make the NHL, but Delaware-born Defenseman Mark Eaton defied the odds, making the Philadelphia Flyers a year after signing him.  Eaton would then be traded to the Nashville Predators, and he would find his niche as a lockdown Defenseman.

Eaton played for the Predators for five years, scoring only 45 Points, but he performed his role as one of Nashville’s best shot blockers.  His best year was in 2003-04, where he had 13 Points and 4.7 Defensive Point Shares, the latter of which was by far his personal best.  He signed with Pittsburgh in 2006 and later won a Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 2009.

Greg Johnson was an original Nashville Predator, having been chosen from Chicago in the Expansion Draft.  The Predators would be the last NHL team he ever played for, and by far, where he had his greatest individual success.

Johnson scored a career-high 50 Points and was a stalwart on the penalty kill.  He would have two more 40-Point years for Nashville, collecting 238 in total for the Predators, before signing with Detroit as a Free Agent in 2006, though he would never play for them.  Notably, 17 of his Points in Nashville were short-handed.

Calle Jarnkrok, a Draft Pick from Sweden, was traded from Detroit to Nashville before making it to the National Hockey League.  As history showed, the Predators were the winners of the transaction.

Playing at Center, Jarnkrok debuted for the Predators for 12 Games in the 2013-14 Season before becoming a full-blown NHL player the year after.  Working on the grinding line, Jarnkrok had five 30-Point seasons and helped Nashville reach the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals.  

His run in Tennessee ended in 2021 when he was chosen by the expansion Seattle Kraken.  With the Preds, Jarnkrok had 211 Points in 508 Games.
