30. Nashville Predators – Nikita A. Popugayev (LW, Prince George Cougars, WHL)

Not to be confused with Nikita O., Nikita A. Popugayev is a solid power forward and he combined for a total of 69 points in 71 points this year.

This pick is obviously interchangeable with the Penguins’ pick at 31st considering the playoffs aren’t over, so it’s not finalized that the Preds have the 30th pick.
