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.

Nashville selected Dan Hamhuis with their First Round Pick (12^th Overall) in 2001, and the Predators had high hopes for the former CHL Defenseman of the Year.

Hamhuis spent his first year of professional hockey in the AHL, and in his rookie NHL year (2002-03), he scored 26 Points, including a career-high 7 Goals.  He matched his goal output in 2005-06 but had career-bests in Assists (31) and Points (38).  Hamhuis continued to be productive, but he never developed the potency expected of him, though he was undoubtedly more than a solid NHL player.

As the Predators developed Shea Weber and Ryan Suter, Hamhuis was relegated to a lower defensive pairing, becoming expendable and eventually traded to Philadelphia after the 2009-10 Season. 

Hamhuis rejoined Nashville as a Free Agent in 2018, and he played two more years before retiring in 2020.  174 of his 356 career Points were in a Predators uniform.
