One of the most important things that every team goes through each year is scouting for the draft, because certain players can change your franchise forever.

For example players like Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane and obviously many more.

From 1998 to 2016, the Nashville Predators have only had three 1st-round busts in my opinion, but every team drafts a bust every once in a while so it’s not the worst thing in the world.

Luckily, the team hasn’t had draft mistakes every year, but here are some players the  Nashville Predators could have drafted instead of the players they ended up choosing.

Hines-sight is always 20/20 right? Scouting players will never be a perfect science, and there’s always risks involved. Let’s see which ones the Predators and GM David Poile probably wish they could have back.
