The Nashville Predators keep trying to push away the notion of a rebuild, despite making some offseason moves that suggested they were prepared to go down that road.

Instead it feels like the Predators are stuck not knowing what they want to do, and now they’re 2-4-0 to open the season. They did get an impressive, gutsy win over the Wild in their last game.

There’s still a lot to be excited about in the Predators prospect pool. Loads of offensive talent and scoring ability, and solid defensive prospects as well.

Last season in the COVID-19 shortened season, we didn’t get much to track in the minor league systems. This season everything is pretty much back to normal, including the return of the Milwaukee Admirals, the Predators’ AHL affiliate.

As this season hangs in the balance of becoming a disastrous one for the Predators, we’ll start seeing more and more these prospects get opportunities to gain more ice time. Time to check the progress of some top prospects.
