Predators' First Big Trade Of 2016 Paying Off With Ryan Johansen
The Predators stunned the NHL not once, but twice in 2016 by trading away a top defenseman. Ryan Johansen is the big center who landed with Nashville’s first big trade, a move almost forgotten in all the wake of the deal that brought P.K. Subban to Music City. Now with Nashville waiting for Anaheim and Edmonton to wrap up so the Predators can start their Western Conference final, the deal for Johansen is looking like one of general manager David Poile’s more masterful swaps.
