Great news today for the Nashville Predators and Blake Geoffrion, as the team as has the Hobey Baker award winner to an entry level contract.
Geoffrion will immediately join the Predators’ AHL team, the Milwaukee Admirals, as they take on the Chicago Wolves.
As Preds on the Glass notes, Geoffrion is a local prospect and as soon as he suits up for the Predators will be the first player from Tennessee to play in the NHL.
With the Predators perhaps in need of some extra goal scoring against the Blackhawks, it’s a shame he can’t start right away in the NHL. Although I’d guess that going from college hockey to the NHL playoffs might be too much.
