What the Preds Did on Their Summer Vacations: Defensemen

The wait is almost over.
As the August calendar reaches its conclusion and the humidity levels decrease (wishful thinking), Predators Training Camp inches ever closer with players making their way back to Nashville almost daily. They return to Music City with another offseason come and gone, another summer full of memories made across the country or around the world.
So, how did the Preds spend their past few months off the ice? From weddings to World Championships, here's a look at what the Nashville defensive corps did to stay busy.

One of four Preds to hear wedding bells over the summer, Anthony Bitetto not only celebrated with family and friends, but also chimed in on Twitter to help settle a headshot mishap.

Mattias Ekholm joined teammates Filip Forsberg and Viktor Arvidsson in not only capturing a World Championship for Sweden, but also cheering on his fellow countrymen in their World Cup pursuits.

Matt Irwin ventured back home to British Columbia and brought his adorable young son, Beckem, along for the journey.

Roman Josi and a number of his teammates were attendees of the Arvidsson wedding, and the captain also ventured to Italy with Ryan Johansen.

And finally, no one does the offseason bigger and better than P.K. Subban. His social media content speaks for itself, but here are some of the top highlights from No. 76.
