The Nashville Predators continue building for the future, selecting high-upside forward Ryker Lee

the Preds have selected Riker Lee with the 26th overall pick in the NHL draft how surprised were you by this selection and
I was a little bit surprised by this selection i think a lot of people felt like with these later first round picks that Nashville was going to target a defenseman which they did they moved up to get Cameron Reed but I think they also felt that they were going to maybe select a goalender or hometown favorite defenseman Blake Fidler which did not happen so I think this is an interesting pick maybe one that came uh as a little bit of a surprise to the Predators fandom
what does he bring to the table that led the Predators to select him with this pick yeah I think the thing that you really have to like about Riker Lee is he is a really versatile player and I think he’s got a lot of room to grow uh to grow his game he played 58 uh games last season for the Madison Capitals scored 31 goals 68 points so this is a a young man who’s got an offensive upside to him i think Nashville Predators really like what they saw from him on ice i think this is also a young man who impressed them off the ice i think there’s a lot to like about his game what does he need to work on to reach the NHL yeah the you know he was maybe he maybe was selected a little higher than he was projected and I think when people look at his game they are going to look at some things like you know just getting to that NHL level of execution you know again he’s got a great shot i think just knowing when to use that shot and learning to play at the pace of the NHL game that’s going to be the big challenge for him he is headed off to Michigan State next season so he is going to get a lot of opportunity to grow his game with that program as well so I think that bodess really well and I think Nashville likes what they see in him
