There will be a brief discussion on one of the Nashville centres a little later, but it’s worth talking a bit about their current winger situation, too.

Although most recent attention of poolies has rightfully been paid to free-agent signings and trades, and their ripple effect in fantasy, let’s not forget there was also a little thing called the NHL Entry Draft earlier this month.
