On the Forecheck, a Nashville Predators community

John Glennon's article this morning (linked from the Clarkesville Leaf Chronicle, not sure why it's not at the Tennessean yet) digs into the question of whether Colin Wilson is "NHL ready". At 6' 1", 213 lbs., it's not so much a physical question as a mental/emotional one. Personally, I'm of the opinion that he should probably spend most of next season with Milwaukee, getting a taste of the NHL experience but focusing on adapting to the pro game and schedule. But then again, he might look pretty good centering the Preds' 3rd line...

John Glennon at the Tennessean reports that Preds prospect Colin Wilson was named USA Hockey's College Player of the Year today.

The Predators have announced that 2008 1st-round draft pick Colin Wilson will make an appearance at the Open House taking place Sunday, May 17 at the Sommet Center, from 2-4 p.m. to sign autographs and meet fans.

The Nashville Predators have put up a nice page detailing the schedule for each Preds player or prospect participating in the World Championships, which begin Friday in Switzerland. In total, 8 players from the organization (if you include Alexander Radulov for Russia) are involved.
