fits into all of that, but he’s typically played around 18 minutes per night the last few seasons. That’s far too many for a player of his current caliber and if Nashville is expecting a top-line forward, the team is in for a rude awakening.
As is usually the case for Nashville, the Predators aren’t exactly high on options that can fill the role. Maybe a young player steps up and does so. Maybe. But Nashville’s best options in that vein, Evangelista and Novak,struggle too much without the puck to be fully trusted. As it stands now, there’s a reason Nashville doesn’t expect to be a playoff team despite having a bona fide top-five defenseman and goalie: The rest just isn’t close to good enough.
