Who doesn't enjoy flipping through old photos?
Over the course of the summer, we'll take a look back at the season that was with the top shots from a number of Predators players who helped the club to a record 117-point campaign - and Ryan Ellis is up next.
Despite playing in only 44 games due to recovery from offseason knee surgery, the bearded blueliner made a triumphant return to post career highs in assists (23) and plus-minus (+26 rating) last season. And you can expect plenty more photographs to come - just last week, Ellis
inked an eight-year extension
to remain in Smashville through the 2026-27 campaign. Here are the top shots of No. 4.
