Nashville Predators: MVPs of the 2019-20 Regular Season

The Captain

There’s a reason why Roman Josi wears the “C” on his jersey. This year the “C” might as well have been an “S”.

Josi is, undeniably, the leader of this team and played like Superman all season. He’s been the player who has been the most consistent this year. His numbers tell the story of his consistency.

This has been a career year for Josi. With 16 goals, 49 assists, and 65 points, he has reaffirmed himself as the team leader. Had the season continued, he would’ve padded these stats even more.

In December and January, Josi went on a tear and had points in twelve-straight games, six of which were multi-point games. He also managed to net two goals in four of the games that he scored in.

Josi’s excellent season has also put him in the conversation as a front-runner to win the Norris Trophy. John Carlson from the Washington Capitals appears to be the only player standing in Josi’s way.

With Josi being the captain and the way his play has elevated his team, I say give him the trophy.

Josi’s leadership will need to be on full display once the playoffs finally begin. He’ll need to lift the team, motivate them, and carry them as far as they can go.

Hopefully, we will see Josi hoisting that huge silver Cup in the air. Either way, he’s been the undisputed MVP of the Predators over the shortened regular season. No one else comes close.
