Our All-Time Top 50 Nashville Predators have been updated to reflect the 2022/23 Season.
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022/23 revision of our top 50 Nashville Predators.
As for all of our top 50 players in hockey we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, Nashville did not make the playoffs but they still, had several new entry and multiple elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw a change:
1. Roman Josi
2. Shea Weber
3. Pekka Rinne
You can find the entire list here.
Josi is still active, and the former Norris Trophy winner is putting more distance between himself and all others who played in Nashville.
Forsberg moved up one spot, overtaking Legwand for #4.
Defenseman, Matias Ekholm, who was traded to the Edmonton Oilers late last year did enough to move up one spot to claim the #9 spot.
Goalie, Jusse Saros, climbed two spots to #14.
Center, Ryan Johansen, who is now with the Colorado Avalanche, inched up one rank to #16.
Another Center, Matt Duchene, debuts on the list at #31.
A third Center, Colton Sissons, went from #35 to #33, and in keeping with Centers, Mikael Granlund, who is now a Pittsburgh Penguin made it to #45 from #48.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
