Nashville Predators: A Wing and Some Prayers

The Nashville Predators were perceived to have a weakness at Left Wing last season- we take a look at how that may change during the offseason as we break down the position.

Though the Left Wing position holsters the Predator’s brightest young star in the form of 21-year-old Filip Forsberg, the four spots down the left side of the roster were often pointed to by media and fans as the weakest link of the team.

Youth is prevalent at the position- the four skaters who solidified the wing by season’s end average only 23 years of age. And with Nashville owning a pipeline of young forwards tracing down from the pros into the AHL, it remains a looming question as to whether Nashville will be content to rely on the development of rising players or choose to acquire an outside source of talent to deepen the position moving into next season.

Here we take a look at the options on the roster and beyond for the position most likely to see change during the offseason:
