Nashville Predators: Five Key Prospects to Watch at Rookie Camp

Tomas Vomacka, G, 2017 5th-round draft pick

Here’s another Predators prospect who since being drafted has seen extensive action in the collegiate ranks, but is now ready to take their talents to the professional level of the AHL.

Tomas Vomacka has an impressive showing in the Predators development camp last month, including making some difficult saves in the Future Stars Game against other fellow Predators prospects.

The Predators lost their all-time great goaltender Pekka Rinne to retirement over the offseason, but still appear to be solid in net for years to come with Juuse Saros as the starter, and 2020 first-round draft pick Iaroslav Askarov pegged as the eventual franchise goaltender after his KHL obligations come to an end.

With that said, the Predators look to keep the goalie pipeline strong, and Vomacka looks like a promising goaltender for the AHL ranks in the near future. Of course we also still have Connor Ingram as the No.1 starter for the Admirals.

Vomacka has spent the last two seasons with the University of Connecticut and has appeared in 50 games and has posted a GAA hovering around three goals allowed per game. We’re looking for a strong camp showing from him as he looks to make an impact in the AHL in the near future.
