Filip Forsberg- 739 Games, 639 Points, 297 Goals, 342 Assists, +30 Plus/Minus

Forsberg is the best goal scorer in Nashville Predators history and it's not particularly close, unless you want to count the brief stint that Paul Kariya spent with the team. Then I'll have to go Kariya.

Regardless, Forsberg's lead as the top goal scorer is going to stand for a long time. Josi is the next closest active player, and he's 108 goals behind. He's never going to make up that gap even Forsberg were to hang up the skates and retire tomorrow.

There's also no one on this current Predators team that's anywhere close after Josi. If Forsberg's record ever falls one day, it's almost certainly by a player who has yet to play their first NHL game. Unless you want to put faith in Luke Evangelista, Zachary L'Heureux or Fedor Svechkov.

Forsberg is three goals away from 300 for his career. He'll be the 28th active player to reach 300 goals and should hopefully do it in the next few games. He did just end an 18-game goal drought.

Another milestone that Forsberg will likely hit before this season ends is most power play goals in Predators history. Shea Weber holds that title with 80. Forsberg needs two more to hold the record by himself. I think it's safe to say he'll get it before the current season ends.
