Measuring Up the Sandpaper: A Preliminary Look at “Grit,” “Toughness,” and the Nashville Predators | On the Forecheck
We hear about “grit” all the time. Kate is at the beginning of a quest to find out what exactly that means, what it brings to the team, and who our grittiest player is. Chime in on her article to let her know what you think!

Breakdown: Nashville signs forward Mathieu Olivier to a two-year, entry-level contract | On the Forecheck
If you’re like me, you saw the tweet about Mathieu Olivier signing a two-year deal and had no clue who he was. Eric, once again, continues to show you why OTF has the absolute BEST prospect coverage on the internet.
