2008 NHL All-Star Game from Atlanta
Perhaps one of the biggest player acquisitions of the time for the franchise was Jason Arnott. He signed a huge contract for the time period in the offseason and I remember the fans buzzing about getting such a big named player at the time.
Arnott would be just the fourth different player in the franchise’s history to go to the All-Star game. It was just his second appearance of his career, with his first coming over a decade before.
Arnott would record an assist in the game as the West would lose to the East in an exciting game that would end with a final score of 8-7. As for the rest of the season, Arnott would go onto record 72 points that season and play four total seasons with the Predators.
Those 72 points remains tied for third on the franchise list for most points in a season, tied with J.P. Dumont who somehow never made an All-Star game for the Predators. Also, can we bring back those navy blue uniforms for alternates?
