Josi proving invaluable as Preds’ leader

It has been said that a team often mirrors the personality of its leader.

If that proves true, then it is easy to see why Nashville Predators General Manager David Poile named star defenseman Roman Josi the team captain in September 2017. Often mentioned as one of the elite defensemen in the NHL, the respect that Josi draws is one of the reasons Poile chose the Swiss defenseman as the head of the team’s leadership group.
