The Nashville Predators select Spencer Stastney at 131st overall

At 131st overall, the Nashville Predators have selected defenseman Spencer Stastney out of the United States National Team Development Program.

The Wisconsin native appeared in 80 games this season and totaled 3 goals and 43 points in. He also scored 1 goal and 5 points in 7 games at the U18 World Junior Championship.

Stastney is another undersized defenseman taken in this year’s draft. He stands at 5’10” and 179 lbs and shoots left-handed. Stastney plays a sound game and has a strong breakout game that can be attributed to his excellent speed.

A bigger role at the University of Notre Dame next year will hopefully help unlock more of his game. Check Stastney out, #47, below:
