The Nashville Predators are preparing to select No. 10 overall in the 2026 NHL Draft, taking place on June 26. General manager Chris MacFarland aims to energize the franchise and targets forward Wyatt Cullen, known for his strong offensive potential. Cullen, a left winger with the U.S. National Team Development Program, recorded 16 goals and 29 assists in 40 games last season, alongside a standout performance at the 2025 World Junior Championships. MacFarland, looking to replicate past successes with high-potential forwards, may opt for Cullen despite his offensive focus, distinguishing him from typical Predators draft picks. This pick could mark MacFarland’s initial significant move as the team's new GM.
