I’d give it a 6

The number 6 is big in the NBA. The first two that come to mind for most is Julius Ervin and Patrick Ewing. And, Lebron James during his time in Miami.

As for the NHL, over 400 players lay claim to #6. Phil Housley may be the best to shoulder this sweater number all-time. For the Predators, however, it leads us to one player: Shea Weber.

For 11 seasons, Weber held the number 6 for the Nashville Predators. Four times he was an All-Star, and a Norris Trophy finalist three times. Weber failed to score more than 40 points three times in his Predator career, and one of those was during the abbreviated 2012-13 season. He ranks third in team history with 443 points, 142 more than fourth place.

The effects of his play and whispers of his name continue to echo through the halls of Bridgestone Arena. Weber was used in acquiring P.K. Subban from Montreal in 2016.
