Nashville Predators: Five players to improve in 2017

Number 4: Colton Sissons

Just like Watson, Colton Sissons has the size and ability to play all forward spots. And, though production in the regular season was limited, Sissons showed up in the playoffs. With six goal and six assists, his scoring was better in the playoffs was better than in the regular season.

It should be seven goals. At least.

The Nashville Predators’ second round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft has the potential to score. His 105 points in Milwaukee shows that ability. That must translate into the NHL. Scouting reports when being drafted suggested that he lacked the strength to have a long career, and may be limited to a role player.

Yet, he has upside. And that is what he showed on hockey’s largest stage. Now, he just needs to do that in October.
