The Nashville Predators announced their development camp roster over the weekend and many of the top organizational prospects will be in attendance.
Nashville’s entire 2022 draft class will be participating — forwards Joakim Kemell, Adam Ingram, Cole O’Hara and Ben Strinden, and defensemen Kasper Kulonummi and Graham Sward — in addition to 2021 first-round pick Zachary L’Heureux and 2020 first-round pick Yaroslav Askarov.
