Nashville Predators: Most Overrated and Underrated Player for 2023

The Nashville Predators have made some pretty big moves this offseason. Moving on from Ryan Johansen and Matt Duchene and then bringing in Ryan O’Reilly are probably the three biggest changes up to this point.

With the organization moving on from the likes of Johansen and Duchene, my outlook on the most overrated player in the current Nashville Predators organization has changed slightly.

If you would have asked me a month ago, the player of most overrated would have been a fight between these either Johansen or Duchene.

The new leadership of Barry Trotz and Andrew Brunette as head coach have already seemed to make a very clear statement, either play to the expectations of your contract or find somewhere else to play.

Now as for underrated, a lot of Nashville Predators players are underrated due to the market they play in. If you put Roman Josi, Filip Forsberg, or Colton Sissons in a hotter hockey market, they would not be near as underrated as they are by playing here in Smashville.

Let’s jump right into who are the most overrated and underrated players in a Nashville Predators today, with the regular season opener of 2023-24 still a couple months away.
