P.K. Subban

P.K. Subban would be just a small part of an already loaded roster if NHL players were participating. I can promise more Predators fan would be paying attention to Canada’s success with Subban on the Olympic roster. He’s a larger than life player that is no stranger to the international spotlight.

In the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Subban saw very little action for Canada. In fact, just 11 minutes of action in one game, a blowout over Austria. Subban’s growth in the last four years would make him a key player on Canada’s team now.

Subban did get a gold medal from those Olympics, just adding to his already great list of accomplishments. Being the professional and class act that he is, he was never bitter over not seeing much playing time in the Olympics, per NHL.com. You put Subban in these Olympics in PyeongChang, and he’s looking at another gold medal and being a bigger contributor. Canada has favorable odds to win the gold medal.
