The Nashville Predators are eyeing potential goaltenders for the 2025 NHL Draft, following the trade of Yaroslav Askarov, leaving a gap in their goaltending future. With Juuse Saros signed through 2033, the Predators need a viable successor. Current prospects like Jakub Milota and Magnus Chrona show promise but require development to reach NHL readiness.

History suggests that the Predators have found their best goaltenders in later rounds, with stars like Pekka Rinne and Juuse Saros being late-round picks. However, amidst a thin goaltending pipeline, the Predators' scouting director has indicated a strong intention to select at least one goaltender early in the draft, focusing on top prospects Joshua Ravensbergen and Pyotr Andreyanov.
