The time is finally almost here when the Nashville Predators will drop the puck on their 22nd NHL season and try for another postseason run.

Everything is coming together quickly on the upcoming NHL season, and the Nashville Predators have been busy spending some extra money to shore up their lineup even more.

With a new Central Division that has five newcomers in it from the Eastern Conference, things will unpredictable and must-watch for us rabid hockey fans.

This season there will be no wildcard format and instead be a very simple top-four requirement to get in. With all games being played within your own division, this format makes total sense and I personally love the simplicity and straightforwardness of it.

Now it’s time to unveil our weekly Central Division Power Rankings that all of the Predlines staff will be submitting. We’ll come up with a composite score from everyone’s separate list.

First up, the preseason edition. We’ll update these rankings every Monday during the regular season!
