Beginning his NHL career in 1987 with the Washington Capitals, Defenseman Bill Houlder would later play for Buffalo, Anaheim, St. Louis, and Tampa Bay, before joining Nashville early in the 1999/00 Season after being selected off of the Waiver Draft.

Houlder was in his early 30s by this time and did not have the same offensive capability, but the Defenseman was still a savvy player and still provided value to a young team.  Houlder played until the end of the 2002/03 Season, scoring 44 Points over 302 Games with the Predators.

Kostitsyn looked to be traded out, and he got it when he was sent packing to Nashville in 2010.

Kostitsyn responded well in his first year in Music City, producing what would be a career-high 50 Points and leading the NHL in Shot Percentage (24.7).  It looked like he turned it around, but it was not to be, as he slipped to 43 Points and plummeted to 15 Points in 46 Games in 2012/13.  Kostitsyn and the Predators agreed to part ways following the season's end, and he returned to Russia to play in the KHL.  Kostitsyn could have had a better and much longer career in North America, but his heart was never in it, and he was much happier in Russia, but on a team as young as Nashville, Kostitsyn is worthy of being on this list.

As of this writing, Center Colton Sissons has played his entire NHL career with the Nashville Predators, a team he debuted for in 2013.  

Sissons is a lower line Center who is mainly used on the grinding line, which has worked well for Nashville, but he is capable of lighting the lamp, as shown by his hat trick that won the Predators the deciding game in the 2017 Western Conference Final, and is coming off of his second 30 Point year.

Currently, Sissons has collected 200 Points with a Plus/Minus of +30.

After playing only one Game with Dallas in the 2003/04 Season, he signed with the Nashville Predators in 2007, where he won the backup Goalie job, though he would be elevated to the primary backstop when Chris Mason struggled.  Ellis had a good year, appearing in 44 Games, and leading the NHL in Save Percentage (.924).  

He was not able to build on that year as his stats slipped, and his backup, Pekka Rinne, took over and held on to that spot for well over a decade.  Ellis played two more years in Nashville and was still decent, keeping his Save Percentage over .900.  

After the 2009-10 Season, Ellis was traded to Montreal, who promptly released him, though he went on to play five more seasons in the NHL.  Ellis had a 49-42-8 record with a 2.64 GAA as a Predator.
