A perfect 10

Five Nashville Predators donned the 1-0. It may be the best number in team history. On the current roster, Colton Sissons wears the number and is performing well. In three season with this sweater, Sissons is emerging as an important player. Last season, he finished with a career-high 27 points. It was his six goals and six assists in the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs that will go down in team history. When the Predators needed a forward to step up, Sissons did, notching two game-winning goals in the postseason.

The player we will likely remember all-time to wear the number 10 deserves a place in the Predators Ring of Honor. Well, if they had one. Second in franchise history in points and third in goals is Martin Erat. Selected in the seventh round of the 1999 Draft, Erat helped establish a new team in winning fashion. The Predators went to the playoffs seven times with Erat nearly 44 points per season.

However, Erat would be traded to the Washington Capitals in 2012 for Filip Forsberg. I think it worked out well for the Predators.
