Steve Sullivan
The first player in Preds history to take home a trophy from the NHL Awards (winning the Masterton in 2009), Sully's time in Nashville was highly dramatic from start to finish. From the hat trick he recorded in his first game as a Predator (February 18, 2004 after his trade from Chicago) to the dazzling goal he scored in the 2011 playoffs against the Anaheim Ducks, Sullivan was always one of the most dynamic players on the ice.
Perhaps the most dramatic story in Sullivan's career came in that gap from 2007-2009, when he lost almost two full calendar years due to back trouble. For a long time it looked like his career was done, but when he returned to action in January 2009, it provided a shot in the arm for a team that needed his offensive skills. Up until his January 10 debut, the Preds averaged 2.45 goals per game. From there on out that season, they averaged 2.71.
In 317 career games for Nashville, Sully ended up with 100 goals and 163 assists, leaving him high on the Preds' franchise lists for goals (4th). assists (7th), and total points (5th) all-time. Sullivan has added his signature to this 30x20 poster board. Sharp signed image!!!
