| Instant Analysis: Stefishen Trade |
| Taylor Stefishen opened his prep career at Ohio State University, scoring eight goals and 21 points in his first two years with the Buckeyes. A promising recruit, Stefishen missed much of his freshman campaign due to a bout of mono and never seemed to re-gain traction at Ohio State. At the end of the '09-10 season -- Stefishen's sophomore year -- he left the OSU program and spent last season with Prince George in the WHL, scoring 24 goals and 67 points in 68 WHL games. Since he left school early, the Preds were facing a deadline to either sign Stefishen or lose his rights; he didn't appear to fit in the organization's plans so the Preds opted to trade his rights rather than lose him outright. --Jay Levin, NashvillePredators.com |
Stefishen was a fifth-round choice of the Predators (136th overall) in the 2008 Draft.
The Predators are currently preparing for the 2011 NHL Entry Draft slated for June 24-25 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn. The club has eight selections – its own picks in rounds 2-7, in addition to New Jersey’s second-round pick and Florida’s fourth-round pick.
