Nashville Predators fans have a lot to be excited about when it comes to their team.
They made their first Stanley Cup Final appearance last year and have shown early on this season that last year’s success was not a fluke. On top of all that, they have quite a few talented prospects who have potential to do some damage at the NHL level.
The Predators drafted 18-year-old Eeli Tolvanen with their first round pick in last summer’s draft, and so far he’s looking like he could be the steal of the draft in the near future.
Through his first 21 games in the KHL, Tolvanen has recorded 12 goals and 10 assists for 22 points and sits tied for fifth in the entire league in goals, which isn’t really surprising considering he already has some of the best hands in the league. Just check out what the youngster managed to pull off during one of the team’s recent practices.
He’s already off to a historic start to his KHL career and the Predators are hoping he can do the same when he makes the jump to the NHL. During his two seasons with the USHL’s Sioux City Musketeers, the Finnish winger scored 47 goals and added 45 assists for 92 points in 101 games.
