Wonder when the Predators will give some of their kids a chance. L'Heureux just debuted. Svechkov, Kemell, Ufko, and even Schaefer could push.

Hot take, Nashville are bad at developing their offensive talent. Kemell won't become better in the AHL anymore.
Tolvanen instantly became better or should I say bounced back in Seattle.
Granlund was better in Wild and not been any worse in Sharks than Preds. But yeah, he wasn't even drafted by the Preds.
Besides Forsberg, name other forwards developed by Preds? What are they waiting for?

I like Svechkov but I'm a little worried that he's not going to be the kind of guy who fits the Preds' preferences either. There's a gaping spot at center for him even today, and the way he came on in the AHL playoffs last year it could be argued he's as good an option as anybody to audition for that spot.
But... he's sort of an "understated" style of player, not big, not physical, more cerebral than energetic or aggressive... good skills, good smarts... but I'm just not sure how that grabs the attention of the Preds braintrust any better than a host of other recent prospects through the system did? As much as we need him, the recent Preds track record handling their young forwards makes me a little worried.

Called up to Nashville today, we'll see if he actually gets to play or if he's just riding the bench like Wilsby.
